The composition is great, but the processing is problematic. I can't say exactly why though. The colors are off and there's some strange noise on the ceiling. It's also very soft.

This seems over processed to me. I like the composition very much. But, the image quality is too poor to score really well, I fear. Look at the ceiling... Still, there is much to be said for perfect composition. You have 'the eye'. :)

the angle is good, but the light and color seem a little blown out

Nice image for this challenge. How did you keep the focus so clear for that distance?

though I love your colors in this...your fly isn't "sharp" in focus as it could be

Not sure what processing you have used here, but everything looks blurred or liquified. All the fine detail has been lost.

Amazing! Photographer captures the best color combination. You can see every detail.

That's a great little tree! This should've scored much higher

Greetings from the Critique Club

I am sorry that this image did not score a bit higher for you in the miniature challenge. I personally thought it met the challenge topic very well.

From a technical point of view, the mini tea pot is quite out of focus which I do not think is very helpful when trying to score high in these challenges. Other things that have likely contributed to a lower score are the background and the border.

It was mentioned already in the comments made during the challenge that the background was somewhat distracting, and I do have to agree with this. A plain background would likely have worked much better.

Then we come to the border. I have observed that heavy borders such as the one you have used here, hurt rather than help scores here on DPC. Typically a border should enhance the overall image presentation and in this case, I do not really believe it does. Something a little less in your face may have worked better.

At the end of the day, I still gave this a 6 as I felt the subject worked well in this challenge. A better focus would undoubtedly have increased my score.
