Voters can't stare at it long enough for their eyes to adjust to the darkness. ;-)
I print-screened it and took it into PS and had to crank the brightness up +150 before I thought it looked good, but then there was a great image revealed.
I think you fell victim to the uncalibrated monitor, because on mine this looks fantastic. I gave it a six - and not more - because the colors could have popped a little more to make this more fabulous. So sorry it didn't score higher.
Way underrated IMO. My monitor is calibrated and I thought the detail was just perfect for a night shot. And the deep blue of the sky is gorgeous, especially with that sprinkling of stars. But then my own entry did miserably so maybe my opinion isn't all that useful ;-) I stand by my fave, though; this is one I will enjoy going back to look at.
On one monitor I can see the image, but on my other I can only barely make out the shapes. I did not do well in the low key challenge so maybe I'm not the best judge, but maybe next time it should be a tad brighter. Good luck.
I'm sure that this is a brilliant photo from what I can see of it but, it's so dark that I can't really see it...have to stand up or move around my screen to see it. From what I can see in juggling around, it's got some really terrific elements of abandonment and an eerie feel to it that really make a great shot.
Firstly I had to turn the brightness right up on my screen to be able to properly make out what this is a shot of, so while I get what mood you were trying to give here, I think it may just be a touch too dark.
Apart from that, it's a nice shot, HDR I'm guessing, not too much of interest in the scene, but I think the starry sky helps out a little.
