That's interesting and nicely done. A bit too busy for me, but that's not your fault.
It would have been nice if you'd included the edge of the table, showing some of the food and perhaps a knife or something breaking the edge. Still lifes of this purpose were used not only to show off the patron's wealth and good taste, but also to make a moral, allegorical point about the transitory nature of wealth, power and earthly pleasure. To do this the painter often showed something balancing precariously on the edge of the table, about to fall.
