simple & elegant, it's hard to tell where the lighting is coming from, but a backlight may add some punch if you weren't using one already.

I think a less centered and flat-on composition would improve this shot.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Ruedischmutz...

My personal thoughts on this image as an advertisement are that there are too many contrasts in the image and your subject blends into the environment a little too much. The objects that you place with a subject in a photo like this need to contribute to the subject in some way, and I can't seem to determine how the glass plays a supporting role in this photo. The black/white contrast from your surface also creates a strong 'pull' away from the subject of the photo.
