this is a really cool idea; very creative. i would have voted this a 6 or 7, only holding it back because of the focus. i'm ok with a shallow dof, as long as the subject is razor sharp. here, i think the image would have been stronger if at least the leading rim was in focus (but, i'd have to see it both ways to offer a definitive "yep, that's the best way to do it.").
overall, the composition is excellent, as is the lighting, and colors.
as for meeting the challenge, i'd grin at that and accept your take on it without marking it down.
lastly, i can't wait to see what you turn in for the current macro-no bugs/flowers challenge; you really seem to have an eye for inanimate objects.
Very clever! My only worry is that some people may not distinguish how this is a New Years Resolution. I assume it is to win lots of challenges! To the point, it's a gd shot but maybe too much out of focus. mustve been difficult to get the right bits in focus tho.
Out of focous. Is the ribon actually on the glasses or was it eddited on? Great idea though. I think it would have come out better (be more in focus) if you had a smaller aperature.
