Thanks a lot guys! I only realised afterwards how small the picture was, hopefully I'll have that sorted on the next challenge. I'll keep all the comments in mind and try to focus on certain things.

Once again, thanks for all the comments, it really helps!

Congratulations on your first entry! You almost got a 4, and you got some good advice in the comments. Plus, you also got 1 8, 1 nine, 1 10, and 11 6's. To translate, that means your shot connected well with some voters.
The one thing that wasn't mentioned in the others' comments - get a picture editing software package and learn to use it. If you can't afford one, you can use GIMP (google for it) - it is free, and does almost as much as purchased packages. I use Paintshop Pro X4 (if you watch, you can catch it on sale for $50 or $60 (it is from corel.com, and sometimes they even run a special on it - usually just before the next version comes out). Of course, you can opt for Photoshop Lite or Photoshop, but they are more $$.
You don't list the camera you are using. Generally, indoor lighting doesn't produce great pictures. But with stamps, I can understand why you'd rather shoot indoors rather than risk a nice, untimely gust of wind!
Don't know about the others, but I'm looking forward to more of your work.

Nice subject matter and composition, but the shot needs to be larger. You have 800 pixels -- use them! 8)

This photo is a little small. It also looks OOF.
However, I do like the collection you've photographed.

It's rather difficult for an image of this size to make the same impact as a larger image. But, it's not bad overall. Just needs some sharpening and maybe some color adjustment.

Small size will kill your score every time. Focus issues only compound it, but at least you have an interesting composition and fairly creative angle. Good luck.
