Greetings from the Critique Club.
I feel you've been a little short changed having me do the critique considering I'd already commented during voting.
As you know already, I believe this to be suffering from a lack of sharpness/focus. Looking at your settings I would say using 1.8 wasn't perhaps the best for getting a sharp image. I am wondering if you were not using a tripod? I think not when looking at those settings.
Had the image been in focus I probably would have bumped the score up a bit, because it would have been a nice colourful still life, which clearly met the challenge.
Hope this is vaguely helpful.
