Greetings from the Critique Club...
Definately fits the challenge, so that's good heh. Seems the lighting is a bit harsh on the lower part of the photo and almost in need of some more in the upper part.
The focus seems a bit soft throughout, but it's not that bad. As far as composition goes, it's obviously well thought-out, but as far as for viewing, my eyes seem to jump around quite a bit never really coming to rest on a main subject of interest.
I, too, ask myself why the flies? I don't really feel they add anything extra to the image, just seem to busy it up some. I've noticed that when shooting close up shots like this, the image will come out a lot 'cleaner' if you use a paper that is more shiny than coarse. The shadows will fall smoother and there will be soft reflections whereas in this shot, everything seems a bit coarse.
-- Fix the lighting, and use a 'smoother' paper, and I bet your score would increase quite a bit. Overall, it's a good idea, keep shooting!
