I like this, sort of makes you think a little bit, perhaps a tighter cropped would have helped it, all the black makes my eyes wander a bit.

Great detail overall. What I think really could have made it pop out more would have been a bit wider crop. In the set up, I would have tried to find a way to get a little more even lighting (I'm not sure if you have an external flash, but bouncing off the ceiling works wonders this way) as it seems a tad harsh making some parts a little dark making it lose some of the details. I would have adjusted the shot to have made the brights a tad brighter along with the midtones and then to darken the shadows. This would have the tonal range larger allowing for other surprising details to pop. This can be done in post processing messing with the curves in RAW. The concept, idea, and composition overall are definitely there, from here it's fine tuning which just takes practice and lots of it. You're definitely on the right path mate, keep up the good work!

ETA: Maybe finding a way to control the noise too would help. Also, to get greater contrast you can play around with setting with the unsharp mask, you'd be amazed at some of the results you'll get after experimentation.
