This image is of some rope lying on dockside used by one of the commercial fishing or crabbing vessels based at Fisherman's Terminal. It was taken in the evening with the sun behid me and to the side. There are constantly, coils of ropes, lines, piles of netting with floats around the area to photograph, not to mentions all the boats there.

I don't see the red rope as the subject, like some of those who commented. I do see it as a distraction. I love the color, texture and pattern of the main coil of rope. Focus and depth of field are great. You uswed the lighting to your advantage and you can almost feel the texture. However, I keep wanting to see what is behind the red rope. Less red, or no red I think might help things. As it is the red rope creeps in from the bottom and pulls the eye away. I think the other thing your score suffered from is having a picture that would have worked well in another current or recent challenge. Voters seem to vote lower when that happens. Not sure why.
