technically all your shots are pretty good, you mastered your camera and you know your way around it,
the key is how to present your subject and how to impress the viewer,
i am not a still life photographer, so i can't tell you how much it relates to the challenge, but probbaly some viewers thought it did not.
another thing alhtough the lighting is great, the image is missing a kick, in other words it does not get a reaction from me(except of course it's a techincally good pic).
for example when i saw de sousa's shot i was like DAMN that's good.
nice try with the lighting. i find the shadows a bit dark. some fill light or a reflector to the right would give a better effect IMO. the water drops on the can adds a good look
