I gave you a three, and here's why...
I thought the idea was fantastic, and their are aspects I really liked. The swirls, texture, etc.
That said, there was a feeling of blurriness that made it hard to focus. And was compounded by a lack of subject. I found myself peering out of a window of ice only to see what...a tree trunk.
Had it peered out to a tree branch with a bird? or perhaps to see a flower budding up out of the ground. Or even the sun thru the tree branches. If there was a strong subject to catch my eye upon peering thru, then this shot would have received a good solid 6+ from me.

| A lot of blur will ALWAYS score low. Also, I don't find trees, bark or plain skies that interesting. The image has a tremendous deal of noise which is uncommon or odd for day shots where you should have had plenty of light and the ability to use a low ISO (100-200). |

Hey, don't feel bad about this. It's taken me forever to figure out what makes a high scoring image. The worst part is that, now I know what they look like, but I keep submitting bad shots anyway.
Some things that are important are composition, focus, lighting, depth and interest of subject matter. You might study the challenge winners and see if you can figure out what makes them stand out.
You have a good camera, but you may want to work with the settings. This image has a lot of noise, which can be minimized by working with ISO and shutter speed. |

| It is not a very appealing image. It is hard to have a good image when the majority is not in focus. Even the tree is not in focus. The limbs in the back ground appear to be somewhat in focus. |
