Sherry,
Although this is a great idea for a photo, I think the ratings are pretty much right on.
If you look at this with the zoom you will see that it is blurry with lots of noise.
The lighting in this shot makes this image look very flat.

Thanks Mark for being honest and letting me know what you think. I am going to delete it. If I can ask, how do you tell about noise. I reduce the noise in each and every one of my photos in PSE but I have to admit, I don't understand what it is. Could you or someone else help me with this? Thanks -Sherry

Use the SP zoom at 100% or go to "View" and use "Actual Pixels" in PSE.
You should see the noise by using either of these.
