You are probably getting voted right down because of "the lack of crowd" and, as they put it "lack of DOF'. Don't worry...you are not alone. I, too, am getting the same comments.

But I think a photo should be judged 1 - on meeting the challenge and 2 - on the quality of the photograph.

So I am giving you a 9 as this is a beautiful photo.

Great portrait shot, but no people nor crowds depicted here to be singled-out from by minimal depth of field.

Greetings from the Critique Club

What a good time to visit Costa Rica, in their nice warm weather.

You found a colorful image indeed, while you were there. And you met the Challenge nicely with the colorful turban and other items. I would suggest that you may have given the viewer a bit too much information though. While there is lots of color, I think the color burst you are looking for is in the turban, and much of the lower half of the image (say from the elbow down), is extraneous. Then, and it is unfortunate, you did crop into the turban. Frequently, when cropping, it's good to either crop before a major element, or deeply into one. Just a little bit into the element usually appears to be a 'mistake.' (Whether it is intentional or not).

Other than that, the colors look good as does the exposure.

So keep on trying and having fun doing it. Good luck in future Challenges.
