I like the softness of the background in contrast with the foreground. Wonderful composition, too. I have to agree about the dark line at the bottom being a bit distracting to the over-all image, but I still love this photo!
Nice setup and great use of DOF. It's fun to see how different things like plugs are in other countries. I'm torn about the strong dark line created by table in front. On the one hand, it helps ground the image (no pun intended:), on the other hand, it draws my eye straight to the bottom of the shot. Overall, I really enjoy this image.
