Slide Rule

Comment by awpollard:
A good shot of a great subject for the challenge. What I believe hindered your score on this shot and I don't see mentioned by commentors is the fall off of your DOF. It is a minimalistic shot with complex details (there isn't such a thing I just made that up) plenty of detail from all the lines on the rule.

Beings how the rule nearly fills the frame the slide becomes the major subject and the eye is drawn to the slide, I immediatly notice all the tack sharp lines beneath and around that area. As I study it more my periphial vision quicky spots the softness of the lines at both ends of the rule.

As close as you are to the subject this is a tough shot to pull off with Sharpness throughout. It appears that you have plenty of light, stopping down the aperture possibly as much as f/11 might have prevented the fall off the DOF.

And then the other approach might be to take the shot from an angle to deliberatly have a shallow dof on one end of the rule or other.
