Greetings from the Critique Club ;)

Artistic Merit
Pros:
* The framing is balanced.
* The lines converge to a point of interest.
Cons:
* There isn't a real compeling feature in the photo, something to catch the viewer's interest for too long.

Technical Merit
Pros:
* The photo is well exposed.
* Lighting on the subject is well controlled, with no reflexes or unlit areas.
Cons:
* There isn't enough DOF to cover the whole subject. A smaller aperture would have worked better.
* WB looks a bit on the bluish side.
* There are some distracting dust specks.
* There is some harsh lighting on the base of the photo and it is distracting.

Emotional Merit
Pros:
* This isn't something you see everyday...
Cons:
* ...but the element is too dettached from it's environment for us to connect the subject to the story from the title.

Result
I guess this picture was let down mostly by the technical aspects and the limited interest raised by the subject. This was a tough challenge with strong competition so your placement in the bottom half of the pack looks adequate.

Keep them coming!
