I think the concept is good for this challenge type. The background (chair and bench(?) ) and the print on the tablecloth are distracting to me. Perhaps taking the picture with only a plain table as the background would've worked better. My only other suggestion would be some 'tweaking' is a photo program to brighten this up a bit, enhance the colors, and a little unsharp mask. Not a bad try, though.
A nice still life illustrates an irony that is something of a cliche (look at all the entries on this theme). This makes a nice picture, but a tighter crop to get rid of some of the distracting background might have made it even better.
Might have been a little stronger with a little better lighting, and without the elements in the background. A good concept, though -- it does indeed portray irony!
Funny idea, but the execution is a little weak. I feel that the light is a little too bright and the table cloth and back ground are too busy. It also appears that the pixels are too big.
