A little more contrast and stronger lighting - and this would be a fantastic image! Very neat!

5.1????? Amazing. I truly would have expected this to score higher than this.

Compositionally, I like how the coins, ship in the foreground and ship in the background form a triangle. This makes the composition strong as well as gives the eyes something to "travel" around.

Technically, I like the lighting on this and the "tone" of the colors. I also think the shallow depth of field is particularly effective. The details are visible throughout (though I had to tilt my screen a bit to make sure).

The only thing I can think of that might make it more appealing is to make the lighting more dramatic. Maybe play with backlighting or sidelighting.

Nice work and best in future challenges.

Lighting could be improved - the ships' sales lack detail.

The focus is a little weird...but the tones are fantastic:)
