Greetings from the Critique Club!
Marcel, I was one of your 7s because this whimsical image cracked me up, with a *smoking* cigarette collector! Did a wonderful job of meeting the criteria for the challenge. Loving the moustache too, it along with the googly eyes gives the collector a great sense of personality. Your settings look pretty spot on to me.
Now, why didn't this image do better...definitely the flat lighting and mostly grey-on-grey bg just made it too monochrome to look at, until you see the face. I feel that the centredness of the composition is both a strength and a weakness. If there had been a way to shoot it from a different angle - either lower down or more from one side - it may have given you a cleaner bg to shoot against, and a way to avoid the dead-centre comp.
Overall a good effort and it still makes me smile! Hope this ciritique has been helpful.
