About the Image(s)

Camera Canon R7 Lens Canon 24 -240mm

I went with our camera club to a fall colors outing. The place is very handicapped friendly. I also had never tried to do a sunburst until today. The question I have is I submitted this to a camera club competition and it got a very low score. I want to know what you think of this image?

Post. In ACR I upped the exposure, contrast, and shadows. lowered highlights and blacks. Dehazed and added a vignette. I also converted this to black and white. I then brought this into Photoshop and cropped the image.
