I like the mood you achive in this picture. Composition is dynamic and DOF in nice. IMO you could improve it without the background and with a darker table (it's a bit distracting).

I didn't vote in this challenge however I probably would have scored it a 5 or a 6. I like the colors and the image as a whole is very pleasing and easy on the eyes.

As macrothing mentioned the sharpening could be improved. Also the sculpture thing I really don't get. I understand it's blue but the fact that it takes up so much real estate and not provide any meaning beyond it's color I think was a problem for you. If I was to reshoot this I think I would remove the sculpture and also possibly get the background more in focus since it looks like it could enhance the photo and theme further. Really there isn't much separating this photo from a much better score. Anyway, those are my thoughts.

I gave this a 5. I thought the concept was 'ok' but .. the 'blue', sad, etc.. is not my taste/style, so I am likely not the best to provide feedback. Having said that, this Challenge of course opened up the perfect opportunity for such shots and therefore was 'acceptable', if that makes sense, and I think you captured that 'sense' fairly well. Quality wise it looks like it could be sharper, but it might be resizing issues, not sure. Perhaps a variation in perspective/angle, a different reflective surface used, more attention paid to 'composition'/subject placement and a more finely tuned crop, may have made this better in my opinion. Perhaps also 'using' the glass transparency more into your shot may have added another element as well. Sure isn't "rotten" in my opinion.
