Great idea, but just a little too dark. I imagine this is deliberate, to get an old Dutch painting quality, but the first impression is definitely one of under exposure.
This image had a lot of potential as a still life had you used a better lighting set up. The lack of light is eating away at the deatils. It is also casting a blue tinge on the left side of the image. Your crop is a little tight on the left.
I like the idea for this picture but I think that the lighting could be a little brighter. To me te shoes and vegetables don't seem to stand out in this picture.
I like the out-of-the-box idea. Looks like your lighting could have used a bit of improvement... something a bit closer might have helped cast more interesting shadows. I think you could have also tightened the crop on the left and top without losing anything essential.
Huh? I think it's too dark. The ornamentation in the boots are too distracting. I would have liked to see the boots by itself, maybe black and white. JMO
