detail is good, but it looks a little overprocessed

What a beauty. Nice chalk style painting, even though it is a photo. The colorful grain definitely does justice to this image.

Interesting looking creature, good detail. Seems a bit contrasty.

Perhaps, if this iguana were watching at the camera, or with its whole body, or with more attractive color, or if we could feel a story in this image, sure this would be a better photo for this challenge

I didn't vote this challenge, but I just read through your notes on this shot and found them quite interesting. I have found the same thing, that photography makes me look at familiar things in new and unique ways. Instead of just seeing an item, I see the shapes, the subtleties of colors and patterns, and the way the light plays off of it all.

Though this image did poorly as an artistic challenge entry, a larger version would probably be quite nice as a desktop background or an overlay texture.

I agree, in spite of the low score, this challenge was a successful effort for you! (I've had a few of those successful low scores myself!)

Week 6 - Singer Island

Other than the slight tilt of the center column, it is a very nice centered composition. The simple color palette and specially those blues on sky and windows invite to try a B&W or duotone conversion playing with the darkness of the three dominant hues.
