What a curious shot! I suspect that with 20/20 hindsight, you can see the major problems here: the voters don't spend long enough looking at each shot to appreciate the less obvious entries and secondly, he's not a silhouette - and the voters here are very strict on sticking to the challenge... sorry about that.
Technical: A tough one to call, you were clearly going for the blur, and you nailed that. Nothing crazy about the settings so nothing to comment on there. The lighting is your biggie - he needed to be completely backlit.
Artistic: This is a fairly arty kind of shot, which rarely do that well here at DPC - but as long as you liked it, then it is a winner. My only comment would be that the most eye-catching thing is that big tungsten strip down the middle - if that were slightly off to one side or the other I think that it might be more pleasing.
Overall, you got hammered because the voters don't like to be challenged in their thinking. It is clear from your portfolio that you are quite capable of knocking out a voter pleasing shot if you want, so perhaps it is time to explore this arty side a little more?! I do wonder if this would have done better in a 'dream' related challenge?
This photo along with the title kind of makes me think you caught this person in the act of doing something wrong... searching through your garbage perhaps??
