It's so sad and frustrating. The harder one tries, the worse the score! :( Think I'll just start shooting from the hip so to speak from here on out. To heck with the setups! *evil grin*
I think it should've score higher. Expanding on comments, below, maybe a cutout circular halo around the face with the face being smaller, and titled "Circle me". The composition is good, location of subject and including some partial circles.
Oh gosh. This photo reminds me of John de Lancie's character Q from Star Trek (various series..) Very serious sometimes but a hidden smirk not far from the surface. I like how you balanced the playfulness of dots with a serious expression - I think it works well.
