I really liked this concept, just felt that it hadn't reached its full potential. I see by your comments that you set this up for school, and didn't really like it. Sometimes 'setting something up' pays off, but then you need to be able to 'realize' the vision/idea that you had, both in your camera and possibly also with 'pp'. This particular shot, if it were 640 (height in this case, although I think 'wider' is needed here too), the 'Judge' sign on the rat not 'blown'/overexposed, the far left bowl included or excluded entirely and a little more attention paid to the cropping, would all have likely helped this shot a lot. All that said, 35th placing was pretty good.
