Actually filling a punishment with this one by including something "homemade by me". heh. So at least something good comes from this shot, even if it isn't the score.

Nicely set up and good DOF. Whether the background is pure white or not - eh, matters not to me. I will say I'm not a huge fan of the "set up" shot (even though I'm guilty as well), but this is pretty well done for what it is. Probably should have done a Christmas theme, though... :-)
From what I can gather by looking at other entries, I think these LOW shots do better when the background is absolutes pure white. This background (and mine too, which scored badly) looks a bit gray, even thought it is actually white. I think that may be what hurt your score. BTW, I like the idea.
