This shot relies too heavily on a material shape rather than generating intrigue through the photograph itself.
What I mean is - it's dull because everything is just there right in front of you. No angles, lighting, focus or creativity using the medium. I'm very sorry to sound negative but if you look at the others out there they're generating interest from unusual vantage points and a considered composition. Don't get discourage though - just learn from the masters! ;)
Challenge met, you got a shape. But the image is out of focus (you got too close to it and your camera probably cannot focus in such a small distance from your object). Also give your shape more space around so it can stand out. Did you try to blow this up? It looks pixelated. Colour is nice.
