A greater DOF would have made this image stronger. I think an adjustment in colors is called for this image. As it is right now, there is nothing that holds my attention and pay particular interest to this image. Sounds harsh but I believe it's the reality of this photo. Sorry but no harm intended here. Just improvement :)
I'm not sure to whose work this is a tribute, but that's OK. It seems as though the focus is on the silver pitcher to the upper left - I'd have preferred a bit less shallow DOF, to get the grain in the center more in focus.
Part of the fun of the challenge is comparing the photos to the work of the photographers they're paying tribute to. I can't figure out who that would be in this case. This subject has been photographed many many times. To compare well with the genre, I would suggest brightening the image somewhat, increasing the saturation, and greater DOF. These may not have been your intent but they are my preferences.
