It's a fine photo. As a juror, I know that competitions are a crap shoot, with, usually, about 50% of the photos qualifying, but the exhibit space having room for about 10%. Then, the jurying for 1st, 2nd, etc. is truly bizarre. So, good luck. Whatever happens, your photo is an extremely good one in the abstract category.
I've been entering club competitions for over 20 years now at five different clubs and fully appreciate how bizarre results often occur, all one can do is grin and bare it.
