Actually took this shot for the depth of field challenge and thought it might fit this better and possibly score better.
Shot on my deck late in the afternoon on a gold colored poster board, no other lighting. Cropped, adjusted curves, clarity, vibrance and sharpened in LightRoom

A little bland. Even though it's a very ordinary subject, you could have still spiced it up a bit more with a more interesting setup, or more dramatic lighting.
