I think you could expose it a little more. Maybe some levels adjustments in photoshop would enhance this picture greatly.

I think this picture meets the challenge well but it could use a little more work. I think all you really need is some post processing to really make this one pop. I would start with adjusting the color and brightness so that the background isn̢۪t so drab. The whole picture appears to be a bit underexposed and the colors aren̢۪t as bright as they could be. I would suggest upping the contrast about 5 or 10% and upping the saturation 5% or so. You can also play around with setting a white point from the background. Finally I would add a bit of USM to sharpen it up a little more and I think you will have a very good picture here.
As it is now I gave it a 4.

Comment by Gordon:
A good idea but the lighting lets this down - it is very flat and the white(?) background has been underexposed so much to come out grey. This would be a good use of the exposure compensation features of your camera if it has any.

A little under exposed I think, and try using Levels to correct the colors.

Subject needed more light. (Check your monitor calibration maybe?)

A little too dark. Saturation could have been increased a little.

Should be a little brighter. May have looked better with a different color (darker) background.
