I think this image would have been better with a tighter crop and a straight down point of view. As it is, the ugly areas around the outside of the base(?) orange spoils the picture. Looks like you've used a vignette with a poor choice of blend mode, giving the image a rather dirty, flat look. I've found vignettes work remarkably well blended in either soft-light or over lay mode, but at a reduced opacity, say, 30-40%. Watch that focus too! Very important you have areas in focus that help the viewer through the image. At the moment, I'm stuck at mid-bottom with no desire to look further.
