This is a really "busy" image - with not a lot to say for "Hope". And that which might indicate "hope" is conflicting: Maybe the fish is "Hoping" for a meal, but "Silica Gel; Do Not Eat"? And maybe a student somewhere is "Hoping" for a good test result, but I "Hope" you don't mean the fish is. :-) Yep, there is a Unicorn in the background, too. But, paper clips? A piece of pipe fitting? The edge of a paper towel? A drum stick? What IS all that stuff ... ? I HOPE you got it cleaned up since then. :-)
Good idea, but IMO poorly executed. There is a lot in the photo that doesn't relate to your main idea (book, receipts, drumstick(?), spring, and other background elements). Focus on the fish is a little off, maybe due to glass which you might not be able to help. Composition could be a bit stronger (see threads on rule of thirds). Reflection of the light in the upper right of the bowl distracts. And a bit of work with levels would help, i think. Sorry to seem negative, but if you can go back and reshoot it keeping the above in mind, I think it will seem better to you.
