Haha, I get it ;-) Her perspective is not one of awe. You did get some nice high scores within your histogram so some people must have understood. But mostly, you are punished for being too subtle and clever ;-) Sigh. Better luck next time.
I think levyj413 nailed it - there isn't much here that's taking advantage of perspective to make a dramatic photo. The composition doesn't seem to have much 3-dimensionality to it. I'm not sure why the hiker was included in the composition. In my opinion including the hiker actually works against the photo, makes it looks much more like a quick snapshot rather than a perspective landscape.
