 I walked past this table with these cones arranged like this, and thought it would make a nice picture. so I took two shots and this was the best. Crop and levels adjustment only.

I agree with the comments below - have you tried this in black and white?

I really love the contrast and colors and composition. The only thing that's a bit weird is the shape of the shadow on the center cone. Other than that I think this is perfect!

I love how the cones line up so perfectly. I'm not crazy about the harsh shadow cast by two of them (but not the third, mysteriously). Maybe you're not a fan of post-processing, but I would like to see this with higher contrast, or simply an "auto levels" in Photoshop. As for taking the photo, I'd consider getting even lower for a perfectly straight on view of the cones, waiting for the sun to go behind a cloud, or lining up the shot so the shadows are directly behind the cones. The appeal of this shot is in its flatness.

But before you listen to me, realize that I am a lover of the visual arts and a specialist in confusing DPC voters.
