Amy, good try for a first challenge. Problem is there is also the first and when a first there is a last. I think that people have commented in a fair way and have provided a some guidance for your next challenges. comments like "But nothing in the image is sharp" is quite true, a lot of people will look for the one focus point in the photo to bring the image to life. I think you have a good eye and can't wait to see as you progress!
This was also my first challenge and I didn't do so well either. Since I entered a picture, I didn't think that I should vote. However, if I had, I would have scored this a lot higher than most of these people. I thought it was kind of a cool image.
You know what? I actually dig this picture. Very abstract. I think I see a tree in the background possibly, but that's beside the point. it's as if the focus is outside this window on a bright, rainy morning, but it's so bright out, your can't see anything. The contrast takes all the recognizable objects away, and you're left with this nonobjective piece of art.
I actually like it a lot. Please don't let the score discourage you... You should see my first few entries! In fact, go look at them for real. Mine weren't even good photos.
Stick with DPC. You'll develop a style, and you'll learn from the comments you receive. Not from all of them, but by some of them for sure.
