Welcome to the world of Does Not Meet Challenge. As you can tell by your score, your choice of subject was not well received. Most of the voters were looking for things that moved. In my case, I gave you a 6, as I thought your entry was rather well thought out and fit the challenge. Interestingly enough, the words on the bike rack, the color of the purple wall and shadow were a strong enough focal points that I didn’t even notice that the bike rack post had blown highlights down the center. Overall, I think you found an interesting view of an everyday object but it just didn’t say Transportation to the majority of voters.
doesn't really say transportation to me, i'm afraid. the purply blue painted brickwork is quite appealing (might have been tempted to crop above the red brick, thereby making more duotoney) but generally, it kind of lacks that wow factor to make it stand out. 4.
