Lighting was a bit difficult because I didn’t want to have any shadows on the picture. After several shots I got the right one with a quite dark room, a long exposure time and an external flash in my hand fired manually.
Adjustments: white balance, hue/saturation, crop

Nice image overall excellent dof and really nice detail. Lighting is just slightly off with a shadow in front and a slight bit of over exposure to the back of it.
Only thing I can see here that hurt you was the ball was probably considered to bright for light on white. Most were looking for white on white or soft pastel shades.
Honestly this is a good composition and its a shame it didn't score better.
I'm still debating it - but the name brand sticks in my face a bit too much and thus detracts a bit from the image. So I wonder if it might look better if it was not so centered or could not be seen.
