I didn’t vote this Challenge so I have not seen so many shots. Therefore it’s more difficult to say why this image scored lower then I would expect.
Your score is not to bad, but in my eyes its worth more then a 5.3
However I can say a thing or 2 about the image that maybe will give you an idea what could be improved.
I think your composition is good, the scissors look nice and the chosen dof is ok but as mentioned in one of the comments the back of the photo is a bit distracting, there’s not much going on more then a red hole in the photo.
Not that I really mind that, I still like the compo, but maybe that was one of the things why people voted lower.
You could try a different crop and see if it helps.
All in all I think this is a good Photo that meets the Challenge well.
Keep up the good work.

I LOVE these scissors!!! If you know where they were found, I would REALLY like to pick up a pair! I also really like this shot. There's beautiful contrast between the whites/lights and the dark colors of the stones and fabric. Well done.
