while i get what you're after (result of authority being applied, as opposed to actually showing authority), i don't think that was the intent of the challenge. that aside, the image is fine. bw gives the image a lot of strength, lighting and focus are on, general composition works well.
not sure how you set up the shot, but i would say that if you went to much trouble to capture the image, i wish you would have gone a little further and included an authority figure in the image. from a scoring standpoint, outside-the-box images usually don't do that well without a real, real strong tie to the challenge. with this image, i'll be surprised if the voters in general will be that generous. good luck! |
