the focus is off and the image seems blurry.

The lack of focus really hurt a great idea.

Very blurry, and very dull, the colors are bland and there really isn't anything that pops. Maybe you could try another angle.

I wish I could give you a higher score because your subject is a nice childhood memory for many people. Unfortunately the focus is not up to par. The lighting is ok. There are several thing, IMO, that could have made this a good shot besides the technical flaws. One being a little more creative in composition while trying to make the lunch box (bucket) more of a memory instead of a snapshot. A creative title could have helped.

I no where as good as the majority of the photographers here but if my comment helps in any way and you would like some input let me know. I will do my best.

I wish you the best in this challenge and future ones as well.

At least +1 for the object - obviously the kiddos haven't played with this a lot.

The bucket is a bit blurry/out of focus. Sometimes some cameras have problems focusing on reflecting objects... you need to focus manually or focusing on an object at the same distance (to the bucket in this case).
After writing the above i've seen your EXIF... Exposed Time = 1/8 seconds, did you used tripod? If not this exaplains the blurry image.
Gave you a 5.

Harsh lighting giving burnt out specular highlights, distracting textured surface and generally suffering from what appears to be camera shake. A tripod in these lighting conditions is definately a must

wish that the lunch bucket was more in focus.

Subject could be off center. Needs to be sharper. Lighting is flat.

excellent artifact! I think a more dynamic point of view would help this shot. Plus, this is a little out of focus (OOF)
