I'm guessing at the iso and shutter speed, but I know the f-stop is correct.I'm uploading this at a location where I don't have access to that info. I apologize for any inaccuracies.

If you are not 100% certain of your readings for iso etc .. add them later .. do not guess .. cos it does not help.
First Impression - the most important one: Very dark for ... I think I know what you are trying to do .. but am not 100% sure.
Composition: it seems very centred .. have a look at this site .. it talks about the rule of thirds .. I found it helps heaps when composing and cropping.
Technical (Colour and light): This is really too dark ... interesting DOF .. but it detracts i think. There is grain in the picture that may have been helped through using something like neat image .. there is freeware out there somewhere I think.
To grow its vote?: I think this is a great second entry. You scored well and I think are learning ... good going.
Summary: You are doing great .. keep thinking about how interesting it would be to you if your were voting and this will help to keep things in context while composing.

This meets the challenge - inanimate and arranged. I think the background objects needed to be included in the field of focus if they were to be involved in the composition, which is what still life is about IMO. A striking image though.
