I didn't score this one very well, and thought I'd let you know why. I find the composition to be a little bland. the carpeting is distracting, and so are objects in the background. It feels a bit like you just looked around the room to see if there was a water bottle around.

First things first. You're going to want to turn off the option that prints the date on your shot. It just screams "snapshot," which does not go over well in photo contests.

Your harsh on-camera flash caused the bottle to have those blown out spots on the label. If you don't have external flash, you might try working with natural light.
