A central collection of antique items. Are they in a melting pot ? What is the significance of the padlock.
I'm having trouble determining if they are a random collection, or a story is being told. What does it say about the photographer ?
Try to work the lighting across the image to aid the story. There is a backlight casting a shadow from the base of the pot, and
the items in the pot are lit from the front, with the clock and the goat quite flat, and the lock with no real 3 dimensional quality.
