Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one: Nice texture and lighting. Very well exposed.
Composition: Composition isn't this photos strongest point. The choice of crop feels a bit crowded for my tastes.
Subject: Discussing subject is sorta pointless for this photo as the texture and shapes of the "columns" are more the subject than the colums themselves I feel. That said, you did well at emphasizing the shape and texture.
Technical (Color, focus, and light): Color: natural and well balanced.
Focus, sharp as a tack as far as I can tell.
Light, excellent.
To grow its vote?: Tough challenge, but I feel the crowded composition may have hurt you some. And for many this photo probably didn't provide much "wow". DPC voters love some sort of wow factor.
Summary: Very nice light study. I really like your choice of angle to capture the lighting.
Almost looks like a line of pregnant women. Very graceful curves. I like the pattern and DOF. Nice the way the light plays here making the highlights and shadows bring out the curves.
