If this is what you wanted to create, then I can't comment. But assuming you'd like feedback on why it scored as low as it did, here's what I think.

First, still life means arranged objects (or so I understand), with careful thought to how each element is placed and lit. So the DNMC crowd probably hammered this pretty hard.

Second, I think people's eyes are drawn to bright things, like your background, but that ends up distracting viewers from the subject.

Finally, the flower's too far to the right, and too low contrast, to hold my interest.

The upshot is to keep trying other flower shots, but not in a still life challenge. :)

Nice capture. Wonder whether (if the quality is there) it might be stronger if cropping out the less 'active' dog and bringing the whole frame in tighter ...
