It looks like you went to a lot of trouble to create a sense of atmosphere. I think that a warmer color cast and perhaps a slightly darker exposure would have served you better in following through with the effort. I particularly like the wine glasses and the compositional elements immediately surrounding them; after orchestrating this photo you probably don't want to hear this, but I think that I would have scored a closely cropped shot of those a few points higher than the shot as a whole.
I hope this setup didnt just pay off for the photo. If I went through all that work I'd try to convince my girl that it was just for her, and then Id submit it to DPC and hope she doesnt have an account. My complaint would be that it seems a bit oversharpened.
