Greetings from the Critique Club...
I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 6.
My first impression is that this is a nicely executed photograph that fits the theme very well. I like the variation in colours of the stars, and all the intricate details. The background has details, but is neutral enough to not be distracting. The unbalanced framing was a good choice as it lets the viewer wander around the image. I find myself coming back to the gold star, probably because it is near the center, and the colour is brighter than the rest. I don't have any constructive criticism that I feel would add to the photo. I said I would have voted the image a 6 because it is a lovely photograph, but it doesn't "speak to me" as well as some of the entries.
After reading the comments below, it does look like a cat!
If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you. |

| This is an absolutely exquisite composition. Should have scored MUCH higher! Classy & elegant......trés subtle in its flavour! |

| What's keeping this from being a 10? I think there are some bright white spots that could have been blurred down a bit. As is: 9 |

| Nice composition, for me, I think a little more exposure would have added to its opulent feel. |
