Greetings from the Critique Club.
First impressions are that the detail in the shot makes it feel very busy.
Technically it looks like this is oversharpened and that's why the detail is a bit "in your face". The background is quite distracting - could you have shot from an angle to remove the bush from the frame or make it less prominent? DOF seems good.
Artistically I don't know what you were going for here. It's a funky object for sure but this shot doesn't really enhance that. I find myself looking at the reflection a lot - maybe that should have been the focus of your shot?
In summary this comes across as a shot that you didn't put much thought into - try to step back from the shot and ask yourself what you'd vote it and also look for reasons for voters to take points off - because that's what DPC voters do :)
Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.

| Unique subject. Would have preferred less BG clutter from a different angle, top down or low down looking up at subject... |

| I think you should have just centered this instead of giving it an offset. It is not really using the rule of thirds composition here so a centered composition would have worked. |
