Understanding the judge's critique?

I recently submitted this image as a print in my local camera club. It was reviewed by the judge and given a score of 9/10. The judge indicated that all elements of exposure were met and is in focus. He then explained the reason that I didn't receive a 10/10 was due to the image NOT having a direction, or purpose. I'm not certain how to identify that in my image and hope some of you can provide me with clarification on that feedback. I never argue critiques and accepted my score as I'm also new to this club and am learning each and every shoot. TIA
