If it had been a hot chick, they would have given you a freaking 8...

This just my overall opinion, but the photo overall lacks the sharpness to make this photo work. I really cannot find a spot in the overall photo that it sharp enough to draw my attention to it.

The other thing that stands out to me compostion of the photo, the subject is centered in the frame and along with the horizon being dead center at all it doesnt give much of a feel of depth nor a strong urge to examine through the photo further.

Lastly I think your subject is also overpowered by your background there is alot of things to look at behind your subject that in this photo hold more interest.

Hope this helps out a bit.

I like this photo, but I can see that for a free-study challenge, it doesn't quite carry that 'wow' factor, the buildings need slightly better contrast i think, as the whole image looks quite bland. The colour of the water also looks somewhat artificial, almost too electric blue, whilst the focus seems to be the person, not the landscape. Perhaps a DoF that more took in the landscape of miami, with the paddleboarder as an 'extra' in the foreground and off centre would bring more to the image? Also, these shots always look better at dawn/dusk with nice lighting and shadows. Hope this helps to explain why this didn't get higher? (although it does seem harsh!)
