I have to admit this is a pretty nice photo for a rubber ducky. I appreciate the innovative take to painting with light; you might get some DNMC, but I think it works well.

Neat idea. Nice arrangement of elements.

I assume it fits the challenge (i.e. you have used a handheld moving light source) but there is not much (only the background) in the image that takes advantage of that, i.e. that could not be achieved with a static light source. It does not have a wow factor as result of using this special and powerful technique. That isthe reason for me to score this lower.

Comment by willem:
It is a clear, clean picture with clearly recognisable objects, but this seems to be done with rather a large light source from the front, which does not do anything to emphasise the shape of the objects. If you just look at the front white part of the bowl for example, it does not even look round. Chiaroscuro is about using light from one direction (side/top usually) and, if needed, additional reflective material to bring out detail of the objects and to emphasise the shape.

Petals! Don't think it would have occurred to me to staple a flower but it makes for a clever anagram. Nice colors.
