The lighting is really horrible for the picture. Also your color balance for the items are working against each other they don't add enough depth or clarity. You have to much dark green and blue color and no warmer color to lead you to or over power them. I don't know for sure but maybe even the effect of the mirror could be over powering the composition itself instead of adding to the image. You might really think of adding more light to the scene too and or constrast the image looks really flat. You know maybe even if you don't

This was one of these excellent shots that for some reason never gets fully appreciated,
Should have finished far higher, in my opinion.

Interesting how the marble in the middle seems to be sitting higher than the marble to the left. As if they are resting on different surfaces.

Really nice picture with great depth of field but I will copy in a section I have put in to some other comments so you understand my score.
My only concern is, as you may have guessed from the amount of discussion on the forum re "painting with light" is whether it is "painting with light".
Having been lucky enough to judge what is now a few hundred competitions in the last 30 years I feel I should say the first thing that happens is that they are sorted and any that do not immediatly seem to fit the category are dumped (hard but a fact). This is why so many competitions also run an "open category". Your picture, as impressive as it is, would, I feel have been rejected at this stage. "Painting with Light" has a fairly tight definition in photography but still allows a lot of lattitude for creativity.
I suspect that your scores may not reflect what the picture is worth which is a great shame.
-------------
I believe if I was judging in another category I would have gone for an 8 possibly a 9 because you have managed to get those highlights working so well.
I do hope you understand my reasons for marking it down

Your marble study is really quite facinating. Works very well with the mirror. Good idea!

This is nice -- the marbles look like balloons hovering in space. The colors are brilliant.
