Yeah, it's low tech, it's an interesting object, the lighting and color are great and... I'll bet you're wondering why your score isn't higher. Well, you've got a centered object on black, with nothing else around it- kinda' like a catalog photo. There's no story. This would be SO much more interesting in an environment... such as pouring tea into a handmade cup with bamboo implements around it and soft candlelight. That would lend your image more feeling, and likely a better score. Of course, you might already have a 6.35, in which case you should pretend this was all written in Cherokee and pronounced, "Blah, blah, blah..." ;-)
This is a beautiful picture, well framed and just enough DOF to lift it out of the black. It is well lit and the ribbon placed well in the overall shot. I could not suggest any improvements on it at all and this would make a great wall hanging or stock photo, but does not invoke low tech to me at all as I see no technology in tea pots in general. Instead it says to me ancient culture. High marks for composition, some loss for challenge interpretation.
