 I didn't know if I should submit this photo or not, but then I decided why not. I'm interested to know what people think of it. If I'm going to get my personal lowest outcome for this, then just so be it!

It's taken on selftimer on tripod, these feet are mine, taken at 4 sec. Used my 17-40mm lens at 40mm.
Cropped, used levels, little hue/sat, unsharp mask and added border.

Thanks guys. I really didn't expect it to be higher, this isn't a photo that is likely to be voted very high in average here on dpc. I think you have to take a good look at it and then its strength will grow on you and you will then learn to appreciate it more. A quick look, as it is often when voting in the challenges, doesn't work for this image. I knew that when I submitted it and that it didn't get a higher avg vote was expected. As I mentioned in the photographer's comment here above, when I submitted the photo, I was just interested in people's opinions. I'm just glad it ended above 5.

At least all of the comments were positive, many thanks for all your comments.

Its a good photo, underrated.

I'm really disappointed that this shot didn't fare any better in this challenge. The rich color tones are so nice, especially how they change abruptly at the gate line. This is not a typical pretty photo, but it has so many excellent qualities, as I mentioned below, that I hope you're really happy with it despite its score.

I really like this photo not only because it's a beautiful picture that works perfectly for this challenge, but also because it conveys a message and an emotion. Very nice job.
