The background seems to distract from the subject by not having enough contrast. The image would benefit from a better light source as well. It also looks like the scale needs to be rotated slightly. The final suggestion I'd make is that this shot is what I would call a "memory picture", which is in contrast to an artistic picture. For example, if this were an old barn, it might have been interesting to have the scale slightly off-center with more of the background in the shot, but with a depth of field that slightly obscured any objects hanging on the walls.
