Would have been more dramatic had you created the illusion of half in some other way.

I like the composition here. Always I like the compositions where the primary subject recall a secondary object on the background. 8

A very good attempt in emulating the original. Colors appear a bit dark and some portions of the glass are not as well illuminated as the original. There is something going on to the left of the composition that is giving off a red cast to the black surface. Lighting really plays a key role in helping an image pop visually. Play with your lighting set-up to make sure all objects are illuminated evenly and can be clearly visible - especially that water drop in the glass. BTW nice timing on the capture of that waterdrop as that I am sure it took many tries just to get it. The other thing in how your composition defers from the original is that you place one glass on a platform while the original relies on 'illusion' by placing one glass slightly forward while the other hangs back (if you look at his tutorial you will see the placement of the glasses Hughletheren Blue Ribbon Homage None-the-less a good photo but the lighting needs to be much better.
