A nice idea for the photo.. To me, there are a few issues that distract from it though.
1) The background. I'm not sure if the carpet works as a background, especially in the front where the texture is very pronounced.
2) Sharpness. The photo overall seems to lack focus.
3) Contrast. There are a lot of blown highlights in the picture. Especially in the top.. It has lost all detail. If you don't know what a 'histogram' is, I would recommend reading up on it.
4) Lighting. The light source looks to be fairly harsh (Like a bright lamp close to the subject?). This is why the bright areas are too bright, and the shadows are too dark and harsh.
5) Composition. I actually find the composition to be the best thing about this photo. Everything is on nice angles, and you've followed the rule of thirds to add some visual interest.
