 Used channel mixer for BW conversion and added some film grain.
Lighting was one Opus OPL-150 with grid/snoot camera right aimed at my arm and one SB24 with grid/snoot aimed at the vase.
Not to crazy about the 640X640 look.

Compositionally, this is a strong and balanced picture. None of the objects overwhelm the others, and it is composed in such a way that the eyes are given "paths" to "travel" through the frame which adds interest to the shot.

Technically, it is dark, but that seems befitting to the mood and subject. It seems a bit flat, so a small boost to contrast may help, BUT, I'm viewing on my laptop, and everything seems to end up looking flat on it. :)

You have done well at including all the required components without it looking contrived and forced. Good work.

If I need to further clarify or explain anything, please feel free to contact me.

I tired this shot but didn't like the outcome of it. Glad to see that someone tried it

Whoa- Dark. Nice. :) I think I would have bumped the contrast just a bit, but nice mood lighting :)
