Rough when you can't think of anything, isn't it? I've been there. When that happens, sometimes I take my camera out and just start shooting pictures and let whatever may happen. Othertimes, I will find a nice online gallery adn surf through it for a while.
About this picture:
COMPOSITION
I like the strong vertical "movement" of the dishes. You ahve a nice pattern set up here, and I think that it could potentially make this an awesome shot. Perhaps if the front dishes were evenly spaces, adn set a stringent "rhythm" then the back dish set like it is, almost as if it were "marching to a different drummer" it would have more immediate impact. They look a little too random, right now, I think.
TECHNIQUE
I like the hint of colors showing, and the front dishes being out of focus doesn't bother me too much. I do think that if perhaps there were some behind the focused one, and they were out of focus as well, it would make for a stronger visual image. Also, there is a strange shadow on the focused plate that looks like you may have adjusted either contrast or saturation a bit too much, and it looks a little like noise.
OVERALL EFFECT
I think this is a potentially good shot, it just lacks some of the "organization" things that would give it "grabbing" power. I do not mean to say that all shots must look straight or organized, but sometiems it helps to "control" the chaos.
Best to you in future challenges.
