Hmm..no comments yet...

I like the color, especially against the black the green can be very strong. The lighting seems to be fairly well done. Where it falls short, and only my opinion, is the focus. With the bulge and curve of the front surface, your focus plane becomes very localized and it shows here. Nothing seems to be quite in focus. Considering this, I downloaded the image and applied the following:

Sharpen - +10
Levels - black to center of curve, white halfway to curve

Working with the optimized image, this produced dramatic results. Try a little more processing and you will see a great improvement.

EDIT: Spelling

Just one interpretation:



Processing (mind you, this is on the already optimized image)
Levels - black input level, 16; white, 234
Contrast - +12
Sharpen - 18

Edit: Added processed image and details
