You should try to have your picture as close to the largest allowed size as possible. Many voters score pics very low if they are smaller then they should be. Per site rules "File Size: No larger than 150 KB (153,600 bytes).
Dimension: No dimension may be shorter than 160 pixels or longer than 640 pixels" Your dimensions are only 125,369 bytes and 392 x 280 pixels. Since the subject matter is small it may not effect your votes as much as it would if it was a picture with lots of things in it as then the small size would make the details hard to see. Now on to the actual contents of the photo, nice take on the challenge, good focus, good lighting although the very slight flare on the top is a minor distraction. Overall well done. Only let you know about the size thing for two reasons; if your score is lower then you thought it would be that may be a reason why and also it might hurt you more in future challenges with a more complex image that is smaller. My first picture suffered due to being too small. Good Luck
Good idea though some more creative lighting might have been better.
Your image is way too small. DPC allows longest edge up to max 640px, I advise you to use it next time.
LOL! I love the title. Technically, the shot is just about "OK," but this is one of those really creative pictures, wherein the subject matter rises above technical limitations. Nice work.
