Their seems to be quite a few of you from the same school. Was this a school project? I wonder what the details of the project were, only because they aren't really in the style of Natsumi Hayashi.
OK, some tips for next time, be more aware of your background and choose one without distracting features in it. Try to keep things level. Try to use a faster shutter speed to remove any motion blur, and finally use the rule of thirds when possible.

Good luck!

The sunlight over the top of the building is washing out the photo. The angle isn't working. But that's just my opinion

As a photographer I truly appreciate the idea of what appears to be a class doing this challenge as a project. If this is the case then please do not be discouraged by the score... which I am sure is very low. You are allowed to enter an image up to 800 pixels wide and this is considerably smaller than that, so that is your first mistake and probably cut your score in half. Additionally, Natsumi generally takes photographs that seem to be more natural even though they are staged. This one seems staged and is more of an action shot then a levitation shot.

If photography is something that interests you then there is no better site to learn on than this one, so please kep submitting and learn as you go.
