I think this is cute. The yellow and red are quite clear, and are also nice and vivid. They stand out well.
I am undecided on the stars. I like them, cause they give this a playful kind of attitude, however, directly under the slinky, where the slinky pieces are close together, The stars make it a bit cluttered. So I guess I like them on the outter part of the slinky, but not inward where they are cramped.
Something I find to be a bit of a distraction is the green part of the slinky that peeks in from the left. The rest is so bright and cheerful, that the green sneaks in and creates a distraction.
For the challenge, I'd like to see some blue, however, I don't really see how you could add blue to make this look good. Unless maybe the stars were blue. Otherwise, I don't really think blue would fit in. It would be like that small patch of green in the corner, distracting.
Focus and clarity seem to be good in my opinion. And I love the framing/cropping you chose, with the slinky coming out of the upper left and the stars spilling out over the 'negative space'.
The lighting really makes this shot. I appreciate that there are no distracting shadows. That, in my opinion, would have ruined this shot for sure. Great job.

Love the use of the slinky, but am not sure about your background, I think it is a little bit too busy and you would have been better off with a blac,k one.
