First Impression: Nice. The photo pretty much speaks for itself... doesn't need a title although it does get strengthened by it. 7.
Composition: Isn't it a bit tilted? Anyways, off-center works. But I'm left wondering... wouldn't it have worked better had it a vertical composition and about 50% skyspace? Just musing... 6 or 7.
Subject: It's a great subject and it DOES meet the challenge. An 8 or 9 from me.
Technical: I guess it's properly exposed... if not a bit on the dark side. Personally, I'd give it more contrast, but I guess it's fine as it is. 6.
Summary: A top-notch photo, IMO, with a potential for greatness -- with proper tweaking. Congrats on the top 25.

First Impression Very Nice shot, has the WOW factor.
Composition: Very good composition. Just wondering if it's little bit tilted.
Subject: I really like the subject. Definately meets the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
Veri nice colors and ligting. If I am not wrong you used Dodging and Burning in PP. Works for me, nice.
Improvement: The picture needs to rotated little bit. Just wondering if it was possible for you to take this from different angle, may be moving further to the right side.
Summary: Very nice image, good PP. Meet the Challenge, has some WOW factor for me.
Over all very nice image. Congrates on your Personal Best.
