Welcome on board, Roisin. I have a hatful of 'brown ribbons' as they're known - I even crafted one to commemorate them. Needless to say, it's freely available for all to display and I have to present it to you as you've pipped me for it this time -
As Oscar Wilde would have it, we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars. The only way from here is up :)
Nice kids.
A misunderstanding of the challenge with a picture taken in difficult conditions that will have interest for you but not for many others means a low score this time around.
You will score higher, if you size your photo better (there is a tutorial on how to do it) and if you adjust it to reduce the haze and increase the clarity. A levels adjustment, or even an auto adjustment, would help enormously.
I've got to assume you didn't understand the challenge topic. In addition, it comes off as just a snapshot, and there is an excessive amount of JPEG compression that is taking away a lot of the detail in this. Compression kills detail. Always use the least amount of compression you can get away with and still slip it under the 300k challenge limit.
