That is what scores highest. If for you it is all about the scores than you have to shoot to please the crowd. If you photograph like you want to, work out you ideas in a way they please you, present it here.... Yes, maybe you do not get over 6 at dpc, but most of the times you will be rewarded with a comment or favourite of someone who does "get it", does appreciate it, who shares your vision.
I do know of several pg's who after winning several ribbons felt that they were not presenting their work like they wanted to, they were just shooting to please the crowd. Yeah they had high scores and ribbons, but were not 100% happy anyway.

While I made the previous comment it did cross my mind that the little circle could have something to do with the "hanging", but as it is only a small detail and saw no further relation with you (like a rope or something) I dismissed it as not important.

This would get a 5 from me.
Yes it has high contrast, but is also has lost all structure and form in the dark parts (not really the intent of high contrast). I can also not tell what this scene is about, I have no clue. What is above your head? It has no meaning to me, it should not be in the picture, it is distracting.

5.1? this is a beautiful photo. wonderfully processed and just lends itself to imagination and fancy. what ifs? what is you could just jump and fly. what if freedom was just a step away. i LOVE it.

The concept is highly poetic and the execution is elegant. 8

Good angle, clouds seem to be slightly overexposed though.
