An interesting image with beautiful golden colours and soothing tones. It just seems to lack that little bit of clarity that would take it to the next level. It looks to me as though there is not enough Depth of Field (DOF). On close up shots like this the effect of shallow DOF becomes more pronounced and "stopping down" to a smaller aperture becomes vital at times. Your use of lighting is excellent and was the key to this image, it has given it both form and composition with the gradient tones from top to bottom.
