I like it. It has lots of interest for me. DPC should stop catering to the instant gratification crowd.

No comments - probably because it comes across as a meh picture. It soft-of falls into the "What is it?" category, and with the word being mostly upside down, requires some effort and thought to figure out. Then, there is no real relation between the word and the image.
For me, the technicals are good, but there is no clear meaning or message, so it is hard to relate to.

...what do I win? ;-)

I didn't score this one during the challenge. If I had, woulda been a six. It's technically excellent, but doesn't scream street macro and has only moderate interest to me. ...says the guy who entered a cigarette butt. :) I like the color and certainly the DoF though.
