This is a crop from a larger photo. My original idea was to include the entire shadow behind the bench, however that put the bench right in the middle. Another option was to not crop at all but that included some lens flare, which I like, but I believe would have produced a lower score than this crop did. The original link is below.

The bench appears to be your main focal point and should be in better focus. As it is now my attention is drawn to the road in the background for two reasons first it is brighter in contrast and secondly it appears to be in focus when compared to the bench.

Try having the bench in focus with the road out of focus and you will have a very strong photo.

I assume you were working on soft, I think a bit of contrast would increase your score, but that's me.

I rated this picture low, and I like to tell you why. I am not a great photographer myself, but I know what I like and I know what I see, so here is why I voted low.

I can't make out realy mutch of yhis picture.
Is that grass around the bench?
It looks a bit blurry, not out of focus, but blurred, and I see some water, what's that doing there? Is it on your lens? Did you mean something with it?

And the the biggest thing, you call this morning, but the shadow of the bench is almost under it, so that would suggest it's noon, and not morning.

It's a strange picture, if it is meant to be arty, then I don't get it sorry.

I think this would look better with some burning and levels adjustments...

Needs a lot more contrast. Also, the composition leaves me wondering what the subject is. Too many compoeteing elements: the chair, the swath of grass, the road.
