I think you should get rid of the date.

I am not sure you got your message accross, we all know smoking is bad but where in your shot does it express garbage? It can't be in the beautiful leaves in the background. Anyway sorry I don't feel it meets the challenge. 4

I am sure you have already been told that the image did not fill the frame. Beyond that, it was badly focused, and you should try to remove the date which appears in the lower left before submitting. These are all things that can be remedied as you take more pictures. The mistakes will become less and less, then you have to deal with things like composition, subject attractiveness, and all those variables which people vote on.

I bet plenty of people have asked why this is so small. Is this a figurative thing or a slip-up?

the photo is too small to fill the frame into which it is shown. make the image bigger and your scores should go up.

not my favorite composition... maybe put pumpkin somewhere that you could crop less tightly

Wow - now that's a very orange pumpkin! For me, I wish there was a bit more... "breathing room" on either side as it looks a bit squished in the frame.
