Great lighting can really lift a subject. Too much light can kill the mood or emotion. Sometimes we’re not able to photograph a subject when the light is at its best, but the judges don’t know that. All they can see is that the light does not support the photograph. Take another look at your entry and see whether the light is dull or flat, whether the light that is there is not lighting your subject properly (e.g. important areas may be in shadow), or if it is too strong and harsh (the contrast of the light overpowers the subject).
