Greetings from the Critique Club!

Straight off the bat...if people comment on your image, you might just want to click the 'This comment was helpful' button. If DPCers see that someone doesn't appreciate their feedback, then they will be reluctant to comment.

Now onto the image itself. The composition is just straightforwrard, no interesting Point of View to draw us in - ie you didn't eleveate yourself physically or alternately hunker down low and shoot upwards for a more dramatic effect. Exposure is just OK. The clouds in the sky are whited out and glarey, a big no-no here.

Finally...sorry but DNMC means does not mean challenge, and in this case, it doesn't come anywhere near close. Read the challeng descriptions VERY carefully if you plan to do well here. This challenge was meant to be shot from a street-level and this is clearly nowhere near a street, so you got many low votes there.

I hope this critique helps you understand why this image did so poorly and that you realize the importance of paying attention and simply not entering a challenge with an inappropriate image, simply for the sake of having an entry. I've learned that it's far better to enter fewer challenges with strong images that incontestably meet the requirements of the challenge, than to enter many with poor images that will be voted down for not meeting challenge requirements.

Nice shot of Rock City. I'm pretty sure there's no street there.
