A little spray paint, my new home-made light box, some shop lights and a 500W movie light and I'm ready to process. I tried various background colors but like the plain white the best. I don't expect greatness, but I enjoyed this one more than most. Spray painting pretzels is easier than you might think.
Cropped, adjust curves, clone a spec or two, soften the background a bit and save for DPC.

This is a great idea for the challenge. I commend your creativity and executing your idea.
The composition is good, as is the lighting.
To say what would have made this score better, I think it needs some sort of context. With the stark white background it appears to be floating in space. I think if you would have set this up with a bowl of dip, or used a table as the background, you might have done a bit better. 5.58 is a good score, particularly with the competition here at DPC. Put as much thought into the setting as you did the idea and your score would have been high, IMO.
I hope this was helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
I thought that waiting for challenge results was bad, you had to wait for paint to dry. I think that the lighting and focus is great and the framing is great.
