This is colorful in a pleasant way. It's an excellent subject for a macro and an abstract. The exposure might have been brought down a bit to get rid of the white spots. Other than that, it looks as if you got all the technicals down ok.
The composition is a bit static.
If you feel like exploring more, could I suggest try bending the metal into different shapes and introducing some shadow play within the composition. Then you can add some soap bubbles. They should pick up some of the color of the pad and introduce a softness against the rough texture. Or you could also toss some water drops in to add even more variety.
Final note. The colors are very pretty and well captured. The dof creates a sparkling mood. |

Composition: 3, Too static (straight up and down). Next time try an angle to give it more energy.
Technical: 6, Nice and sharp in the middle, shows (good) shallow DOF.
Appeal: 3, Lacks a strong "subject" (a specific reason to look at the image). Throw a bug in there and ya got something! No, but really... it needs something to focus the viewer's attention
Challenge: 5, Appears to fit the challenge, but it's hard to tell. It needs some kind of context to let the viewer know the size of the objects in the image.
Overall Calculated Average Score: 4, Technically not a bad image... it's just that, beyond being "abstract", it lacks a reason for the viewer to want to spend more time looking at it. |

Good idea, nice vibrant color, but it seems too busy and harsh for the eyes. I would try to crop it differently. |

8 - Scale was tricky, but it's a scourer? Nice macro. |
