I love the chances you took with this, I'm very impressed. I always see the color first (which is marvellous) & the richness of detail in the various textures is fun to look at. The light captures my attention. This little slice of life may be easy to walk by without noticing anything, but it is Art in this photograph. That's the photographer's gift. The Eye. Goog going here. I didn't vote or enter this challenge but IMO the people who voted it <5 didn't take time to look at it. It's an "instant fav" for me!
An interesting choice for meeting the subject challenge - different in a number of ways indicating a creative choice that works well from a composition standpoint. The image could be a little more dramatic. A little more focus would have helped this image score higher and better control of exposure time to reduce the slightly overdone white would have also helped. A good, solid entry into the challenge.
