Conceptually this is a cool use of the leads, and for the most part it's a neat/cute image.
But the (excessively) low scores probably reflect two things: most folks here spent a lot of time making very polished tiles while yours has some rough spots, looking incomplete or rushed -- especially seeing what you are capable of. And the image is iconic. Not necessarily bad, that, but deviation from portraiture has cost points for a lot of the tiles.

I love this
The blending of the hair is just a bit off, but otherwise it's just great. I'd give a coin if i had one, he's just so happy and cute looking. :-)
