The shutters do not seem to be the focal point of this photo, they appear to just be part of the image, like the cars, railings, and foliage.

True, but if you read the goal carefully, you will see that this is totally on theme. The theme seems to be pretty wide.

I did not say it was "off theme," just that the shutters are not the focal point.

A VERY SIMPLE test would be to show the photo to any 1 or 2 people, and ask, "What do you think this is a photo of?" Give them 2 chances to get it right. 3 or 4 even.

While "windows" would be close, "shutters" would probably NOT be guessed at.

So yes, while the photo is "on theme," that does not mean it accurately or effectively captures the theme, which are shutters. Not houses, foliage, cars, or other visually distracting elements...

Just sayin'...
