There are some blemishes I wish I could edit out in the wall and slight shadowing on the wall in the shape of my miniblinds. I also think the door knob is too soft and wish I could've used the lighting so that it "popped" out the letters on the old ATLAS glass jar. A bit too much noise, as well. My goal is a 5.5-6 on this image.

My first impression is that this is a very nicely set up still life. I like the arrangement of the items and the colors work well together.
The focus seems to me to be a little soft overall. I'm not sure if you were going for a soft look, however, I would love to see very crisp lines throughout. The texture of the flowers is almost lost and i would love it if this could stand out more.
The dark flowers are a little dark to really make out, and therefor don't seem to add to the photo as is. I think maybe a side lighting directed at the purple flowers might have added enough lighting to help bring those out, and maybe the wording on the jar as well?
I really love the colors in this shot. I like that the background has a slight variance in color as well. I like how it goes from light to darker. I think this adds something to the photo. I'm glad it's not all a solid color.
this is very well done. really, the only thing I'd change, like I said is the lighting on the purple flowers and slightly crisper lines. nice job, and scored right where you predicted.

I like what you did here. I sell prints at my shop, and the only thing that might make this more marketable would be a different color background. Also your focus needs to be a tad sharper.
Before I even saw the title that's the first thing that popped into my head! Great soft and subtle light and excellent collection of "shabby" items...beautiful beautiful!
