an interesting idea, but there are a few things bringing its score down. the flash is quite harsh in the foreground, and falls off very quickly over the board, which you'd expect to be the subject of the image. the depth of field seems unintentionally shallow for hte composition. also, the small size of the image doesn't help the resolutionor picture quality. a good start to an image, but woudl benefit from reshooting. keep on shooting!
There are two things that really hurt this shot, the lighting and the background. The flash is overpowering and gives it that "snap-shot" feel. The background is way too busy and distracts the viewer from your subject.
