Like mentioned below the lighting might be a tad on the cool side but that's more personal preference than anything, other than that I think its awesome :)
I looked at a few pages of photos that placed higher than this image, and I probably would have placed it higher. As for what went wrong, I'm not really sure.
I do get the feeling that I want to pull out and turn the image to an angle, but I also realize that wouldn't be what you were going for. The colors also seem a little cold for what DPC voters usually go for. I played with just contrast, and bumping it +20 makes the eyes really stand out.
I wonder if it's a psychological reaction. Maybe the voters just aren't used to looking at frog eyes. Maybe they were unconsciously wanting the eyes to be facing forward like Kermit.
The more I look at the image while trying to focus on the eyes, the more the image splits in half, and I don't see the eyes at all. I look straight up the middle and see nothing; not even the cute little froggy nostrils. That might explain my initial reaction in the first paragraph of wanting to pull out and turn to the side.
When Mr. Bullfrogi gives an order, see. Youze follow that order see, and Mr. Bullfrogi, he don' much like you. So when he sez Ribbit, youze better RIBBIT muh frien'!
