What amazingly poor and great luck I have following  stdavidson to your image. It's poor luck because I can't add anything that he hasn't. He has it nailed. It's good luck because I don't have to add anything.
I'm sorry that I can't add to what he has said.

Positives:
Well setup and executed image. Very nicely done. Colors not overworked. Overall superb technical quality.
Technicals:
A very challenging image for desaturation. It was done much better than the majority of submissions. Tough boundaries are especially natural looking.
Though done well, you may have retained to much color in the composition in to many areas.
Lighting and contrast are decent though there is nothing in the lighting that specifically draws a lot of viewer interest.
The Challenge:
You got nailed by the lack of a "Wow" factor, not technical quality. Not saying that is right, just saying it is something DPC voters are perpetually searching for. Counted cross stitch just doesn't get voter juices flowing. LOL!!!
It is possible that so much color remained that it harmed it in voting. Voters generally expect just the main subject colored in selective desaturation. The use of color in several different areas might have been confusing.
Suggestions:
You might consider removing all color from the image except the 'see no evil' stitched frog and the needle and thread next to it. The bundled thread and other frog on the package could be left black and white. Color in those areas might be overdoing it. |

| Whew, me thinks this was a tough one. VERY well done. Creative! I never would have thought of the cross stitch medium. |

| Well... I mean no offense of course, but this isn't really a good photographic subject... :( But technically, this is PERFECT! The lighting, composition, focus, and tones are WONDERFUL! Excellent job! :) |
