This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: the vase/bowl is positioned nicely in the frame

color: love the soft colors, very calm and natural. i dont, however, like the black in the background, i prefer the white as in your other shot.

contrast: nicely controlled, nothing overpowers.

focus: those little bubbles are in great focus, along with the rock (or whatever the yellow thing is).

depth of field: again, the black is very distracting. the white would have been much more subtle.

lighting: gorgeous lighting, its enchanting.

other: I think your lower scores from this were from the background, the confusing subject matter, and the lack of complete focus on the sand. However, upon a little more time looking this image over, I have grown to really enjoy it. Its almost like peeking into another world. I continue to enjoy looking and evaluating your images, keep up the good work! As always, if you have any other questions feel free to PM me.

Like the picture, the black background distracts me a little.

Bold composition. Colors palette of green/brown/black clash and distract a bit. Focus seems a bit soft on the sand.
