I'd have cropped it to get rid of a lot of the white tables which aren't very interesting. You'd still have had a good picture with the subjec off-center.

Nice study of shape and the lighting excentuates the shape too, nicely done. Maybe not much to hold interest for long but it's a good abstract piece.

Sorry that I did not put my steps on my image that you looked at. Anyway, on this one, the colors are very vibrant, but there is alot of blown out highlights. Cropping various aspects out of the image ( and that takes some doing and redoing) may make the image more simple. Unfortuneately, I have been trying to simplify but it still isn't enough. My subjects just don't cut it.
