This image exhibits a common problem with autofocus cameras. Notice that the background is in sharp focus but the main subject is out of focus. That is because the camera focused on the background instead of the main subject as I am sure you intended. The reason might be because there is a lot of physical space taken up by the background and the camera was fooled into thinking that is what you wanted to have in focus.

This problem can be minimized if you make sure there is a lot of distance between the background and the main subject. In this case you could have done that by taking the picture from table level instead of this angle.

Out of focus and a little grainy.

Too bad about the grains. Focus is a little bit off.

This image seems to be awfully soft.

You've probably already been told a dozen times that this is out of focus. Just a tip, I've noticed in my short time here that having something in focus is imparative to a decent score, not to mention any decent photo. If your camera cannot handle up-close or macro, but has a decent mega pixel amount like 3, try backing up, focusing well, and crop out what you don't want.
Also you'll find that you will be scored low if your subject is not identifiable. I don't know what this is, guessing it's a gift box? Good luck in the future, hope this helps.

isn't it out of focus ?

The colors are great, but it might have been improved by a cleaner focus.

This photo is not sharp enough, nice colours though.

Shot is out of focus, but I like the colors & concept. Seems like the camera (for whatever reason) picked up on the wood background to focus on - rather than the pyramid. Depending on your settings, you were probably too close to the subject, so the camera defaulted to its minimum distance at that setting - the wood background. It was a very unique idea and there's nice composition, but the blurriness of the image detracts from the shot. (3)
