You can’t - move it that is. The Forum Admins can though - I’ll ask one one them for you rather than creating a duplicate thread (which would break the forum rules).

[edit] Scratch that - looks like one of them (the FAs) has already moved it.[/edit]

Since you are looking for a rating, I’m thinking that you want comments.
Regarding lighting and illumination, which creates shadows, they need some improvement.
Looking at image#2 - there is a light source from behind the right rear wall projecting into the scene - the wall creates a shadow, but the candles don’t.  In image#1 the object in the background is washed out - I can’t be sure what it is.
In #6, it makes me think someone took a photograph with an off-camera flash, but it was to the photographers right and down low - usually it is placed higher than the camera.  But it gives the impression that there is no ambient light at all.  Those are some of my observations for your rating.  Perhaps some of the more experienced members can be provide more feedback.

#1. Nice looking caustics, although it is very simple.
#2. Low poly, materials look too fake, one wall is floating, bakground is blank, or too white.
#3. Nice model, but the render is too simple.  Put it in a room, or some other enviroment.  Have you tried HDRI lighting?
#4. Water reflections are nice, but the water doesn’t look real whatsoever.  It itsn’t even transparent.
#5. Again, low poly, but this one is a little better.  Good modeling, but the ground needs a more detailed texture, and the shadows aren’t soft enough.
#6. Good, but I can tell the texture is tiled, and the lighting isn’t very realistic.
#7. Pretty good job, but I have never seen a house that looks like that with the door and all...:)
#8. Proportions are a little off, and there is a repeat of the texture at the top of the can.
#9. A lot better with texturing, but try using something else besides that teapot.:)
Good job, you seem to be doing a great job, keep it up.  Just work on the realism a little more.
