Before I looked at anything else I tried to guess the challenge and the score. I was right on both, so I think you did well in meeting the challenge and 5.3 is on the high side of the pictures I comment on. I could tell this was going to be there because it's a fairly decent picture. I also noticed even you didn't predict a high score.

1) It's too dark. If the front djembe could be as light as the back ones it would be a stronger picture.

2) I'm torn about B&W. pictures which have a pattern or texture as their subject do well in B&W, but I do like the rich brown you captured.

3) Ultimately, although it is a nice picture and fit the challenge well, it has a tough time competing with other pictures which accomplish those two things but also have a subject with "wow". By looking at your highest scoring pictures you already knew this...

i love the use of the djembes but it would be a nicer pic if it wasnt all cropped so closely together
