forst off i would like to say that although this image did not score that well... technically it is great, the focus the bokeh and the composition all contribute to make this photo
technically flawless. The one thing that is missing from this photo is appeal. I can't tell youhow many times ive entered an image into a challenge thinking "this is great, one of the best shots ive ever taken" only to realize once voting has begun that although the photo is technically great, it has very little mass apeal.
One thing to consider when entering these challenges is to put yourself into the shoes of the voter. On first imapct what would your impressions be, because you have to remember that the majority of the voters are going to be speeding through the images, meaning that yours has to pop out from the rest. The one thing i think would make this photo pop out more would be a bt more processing. Add some contrast to the blurred escalators, and maybe add a bit of a green tone and some grunge effects. Check out Joey Lawrence's shot
its not technically that pleasing, however he made it pop by the processing used.
if you have any comments or questions feel free to contact me via PM.
