I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives : Fascinating scene - difficult to tell whether this is an art exhibit or people sitting down to dinner! I really like the coloration and the lighting glows under the large disks. The back wall texture and coloration is also very interesting as is the arched structure - mirror or opening? Difficult to say. I also like how we can only just discern the faces of the people in the room. Your choice or aspect ratio is bang on the money for this scene too.
Critical stuff: Perhaps I wish the red in the faces was toned down a little?
Overall: A most intriguing image. Bumping from a 6 to a 7.
Interesting setup.First time I looked at this, I didn't see the people on the sides at all. I don't know how much you could have setup, or if you even have this but I think this would have been a great opportunity for a bounce flash. It could bring out some of those side details without looking the deep orange table.
