-Mixing up Lines
All of the different pipes crossing over each other

-Out of Balance
Using the peak of the roof as a “Center for Balance” there is more on the right side then the left

-Poor Framing
There is far to many lines crossing over around and behind the subject to define an as a border

-Bad Mergers
Assuming this means things Merging together, it would be the pipes and metal merging together at to many different angles.

-Tilted Horizon Line
I don’t think this needs any reasoning why.

-Subject Partially Cropped
Girl was not fully shown due to the table blocking the view of her legs

-Poor Colour
Intentionally set off the White Balance on my camera

-Dead Center
Subject standing dead center

-Camera Jiggle
The camera moved during long exposure

-Out of Focus
Subject was out of focus when picture was taken


-Wrong Exposure
The image was under exposed from what it should have been

-What Am I Looking At
Due to the zooming of the lens during the picture it can lead to confusion of the focal point and a sense of vertigo

I imagine it would have been OK to desaturate the image, but this does nevertheless stand out. It is a very jarring image that leaves me a bit distrubed after I look away to my keyboard. I imagine that was your goal, and I think that in all those broken rules you achieved what you were seeking.

Desaturating is not allowed for the contest. No post-capture adjustments.

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)

Well, you should win just due to the number of rules broken ! As for your image, actually, it's dizzying to look at it too long, you get the feeling of falling into the image. So all I can say is, best of luck in the contest !! : )
