In the ratings pass, this reviewer was uncomfortable rating this image - there are several levels of impact here which change every time it's viewed. After six views and a close inspection of the image, this reviewer has to rerate it from a 5 to a 9 because it has the technical quality one looks for in a high rated image even if it isn't as effective from an artistic standpoint - it lacks that certain "something" that makes it standout. It's still a cut above the highly rated images in this challenge. While not exactly a ribbon contender, this should place well in the challenge.
Technically, I like. The contrast, exposure, detail, and clarity are all great, as is the BW conversion. Compositionally though, not much of interest is happening.
I think that in this photo, the title emphasizes the mundane rather than highlighting the interest. I don't think it's always necessary for the title to point anything out, but in this case, I think it lowers the interest.
