I'm not sure about the centered composition. Suggestions?

With a subject like this, I find no problem with it centered - I like it very much except for the overly evident sig/copyright mark....for me, it really takes away.

Not a big fan of the centered composition at all, but the subtle reflection is a nice touch.

centred looks fine but I would have gone in tighter- it looks a little lost in the black surround perhaprs??

I agree. I would have cut the top off about half an inch from the top of the incense burner. That said, I do like the low key approach to the lighting. And, the reflection really sells this image. Nice job overall, other than the centered composition.
