Greetings from the Critique Club.

Composition: I like the layout here....the selective colour makes the subject come right out.

Technical: Focus is good. The blown out area on the top right is distracting and may have cost you points.

Overall: I know this is a wild subject...and the voters may have felt the cluttered area was the problem. Maybe try a lower down and closer angle...!

The contrast on this seems a bit harsh... borderline overexposed
