Artfully presented. I am torn between the lovely treatment of the lead and the petals and nickp37's comment.

This is the photographic pinnacle of prodigiously dis-proportionate priapic prestidigitation.

Clever. I like the concept, very funny. I have a feeling that the stem and yellow (?flower) in background could have been left out. Too distracting. Also, for my taste it is over sharpened in certain regions. Halo/outlines are quite prominent. I'm still giving it a 5 for the concept. Now go catch a fish!

Seems over sharpened to me (but could be my monitor) and although an interesting idea not a very pleasing image.

The yellow flower in the background should have been removed prior to the shot.

Well, that's a very different approach and well executed! Kind of gets that "stock shot", "pretty" look that is loved so well in here but, fits the challenge. Nicely done!

You really went to some trouble to get this into the period table. I hope you didn't get lead poisoning in the process. The image is colorful and well exposed, but beyond that you may not score too well :)

I don't think these things compliment each other very well.

I like this, except for the title. Too explanatory.
