+1 on Kenny's comments. My only nit is the thread on the left side (and to a lesser extent on the right side) is OOF, but I do not see any depth in the image. So I think a higher f/stop would have been better

Composition makes the shot. Lighting helps.

I would crop out a bit from the left side myself, but love the contrasting colors!
