At the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.. kind of a last minute shot to meet the challenge deadline because I've been having challenge withdrawal after four years! I really wish this was advanced editing so I could avoid the gray resulting from cyan desaturation on the wood.. but it was better than the alternatives (overall blue cast, or not getting the lit up areas "cool" enough).

I have to confess I was a little surprised this did not score higher. I thought it was a pretty strong image for this challenge.
Composition is good, it includes just the right balance of "busy-ness".
One comment I would make is that the image doesn't feel really, really sharp, but looking at your EXIF I can see that maybe a product of the 1600 ISO a relatively slow shutter speed. Without any image stabilisation it is difficult to get things tack sharp at less than 1/60.
Overall, I really like this image and am still surprised it did not score higher.
I've been out of circulation for awhile too. I can't believe this only got a 5.8. Things may have got extra harsh since our last foray. It was a super image as I said in my initial comments and I would have thought it clears 6.0 easily.
