I guessed 5.6 because it's not that interesting of a subject. I wanted to enter something as I just got a new camera and really wanted to start entering challenges again.
Also if you add up my last 9 scores and divide them by nine you get 5.6183
Used my 85mm and extension tubes.

I went back and forth on this one - really wanted to go five and a half. The detail is just excellent and I like the tones and textures - but it has no interest for me. Settled on a six. I think your guess is about right. 5.6
Sensitive and tight macro composition but the washer overlaying the paperclip seems haphazard. I think they should be kissing. My guess for the score: 5.3.
Interesting collections of objects. They don't seem to go together, but the quality of the image is great. Nice crisp and clear, love the textures. 6.3
A strong macro (as in very) but in the end we just have a washer, a coin and a paperclip (on wood). It's well executed and some will like that, but for me I think the interest level is a little low. I guess around 5.4.
Nicely placed objects - I especially like the colours and textures of the washer. I sort of wish that the diagonal of the wood grain could be stronger - or horizontal, or vertical. As it is it just looks a bit off - like tilted horizons. Six from me, predicting that your own prediction of 5.6183 could be close to the mark.
Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. I think that you estimated your score very well, I gave you a six but I predict that you will finish at 5,6183 just like you think.
Nice crisp macro, I like how the entire image is in focus.
BUT are your subjects going to win over the DPC crowd?
I'm gonna say the DPC'ers will appreciate a good macro when they see one.
I'll guess 6.15
