The only thing I would have done differently is perhaps to rotate the picture slightly towards to the left (about 3 degrees maybe) so that the table edge is completely horizontal.
While I really like the reflections of light on the closest plate, I think I would have done without the starts on the candles.
Nice setup and colors. I'm wondering why the image is crooked? It might have been nice to have the candles be the same height... or on the same visual plane... as it is, the right one looks taller (though that could just be because it's farther back on the table).
A promising setting for a mood challenge, but the table is wonky, colour balance is too yellow and composition is unbalanced. Too much glare off the plate.
Great sense of mood here! I too entered a shot with warmth, lighting, and have been commented "does not fit the challenge", or "what mood is this supposed to convey?" Ignore such comments and enjoy the radiance you've captured in this lovely setting. My only techie crit is the plate area of the photo is a bit dim. Perhaps some dodge/burn to this area to lighten, to spread the glow across the setting? All the best.
Image sets a nice mood and is clean with a nice jet black background. The table edge is not horizontal and that is a distraction. An improvement might be to make the bottom table edge horizontal and composed with each corner just touching the edge of the frame.
