This is a house in my neighborhood that has been abandoned for about a year... I thought I would try out some things on GIMP and this is what I came out with... I don't think I like the end result but I am not the one voting...
hoping score-5.1
estimated score-4.5

Let's take a look at your photo and try to understand why did you get such a low points and last place.
Technically, it is a nice exposed photo with some over exposed front yard.
Composition is nice. I like the way you had house up front and still kept the palm tree in the back and the yard up front to show the abandoncy(!).
Post process, is nicely done. This could be a nice photo for "digital art" challenge. You saw a house, with lots of plants front that tells us it was abandoned. Probably there were some other cracks or broken windows but post process is hiding all that and giving us a clearer image.
I don't know the surrounding of this house, but if you did go back a little more and took a bit more of the house with more plants, and instead of digital work, change the colors a bit faded, and let us see more damage on the house you would not be at last :)
It's a nice photo, it came last because didn't match to challenge subject in my opinion.
I checked your other photos. You do need some practice on finding more interesting and colorful subjects. Everyday and everyone's shot won't do in DPC, you have to be unique. Make sure your focus is correct, contrast and colors are alive... and try to tell stories with your photos, if not be artistic, but not with post process, with your compositions :)
