Put me down on the "Me too" list - the overlay adds to the photo, a gritty depth that brings me in to examine the shapes and forms. Very nice.

My opinion on why it scored "low" - no good separation between the subject and the background. That was my first impression when I opened the image, and that impression stuck with me for about five seconds. As voting goes that's about as much time as you get (unfortunately).

In a different environment where the viewer is not constrained by time the "score" (read: overall impression) may be higher.

I still feel the photo's background detracts from the subject instead of enhancing the subject.

Anyway - my two cents! :)

The lens on the dangling camera looks like a 300/2.8, the other looks like a 500/4. Them's my guesses.
