This is an interesting image; the long vertical line not a drop formation often seen. It is technically good, with focus, and exposure spot on. I quite like the composition, with the concentric circles more implied than shown. The leading line of the long drop (hah) brings the eye through and into the image and its circles again and again. The star, its incipient crown gives some nice tension to the composition.
Really, I think your main problem with this image, in this challenge, is that it's not really high contrast. High contrast should have strong blacks and whites, with a limited range of greys between, while yours has a full tonal range of greys. Generally, away from the whole high contrast thing, there's something seemingly missing in the back area (underside of a plate?), the tones just feel, empty. I'm not entirely sure why.
All in all, well done, and I think the low score is more to do with the normal contrast than anything else.
