this is done very well actually. great detail and colors, focus, lines. all of that is good. I dig it. I assume what happened here is just lack of wow factor. maybe in comparison to some other shots in the challenge. It's a technically great shot. It just lacks emotion or anything like that to grab the viewers attention. I would however expect something like this to score higher in general. 5.5 at least. I'm not sure what happened here.

This looks very washed out or over exposed. a lot of detail had been lost in the lighter areas. It's also too blue overall. Which works for some photographers on this site but is hard to pull off. I think when going with overall blues you want Darkers blue tones, the lighter ones aren't as asthetically pleasing.

What's weird to me with this shot is that I can't tell what they are being held up in. silly putty?, playdoh? It's not clear and that's confusing. Also the pinkish tones take attention away from the matches which aren't sharp enough. your D.O.F. is just too shallow at 3.2, with a static subject you should be able to get the aperature up providing you have a tripod. If not I suggest getting one. The colors look oversaturated as well. Which in general is a good thing on DPC but with this you've gone just a bit too far.
