I have taken some of your great advice and wanted to share the results. Thanks for all of your guidance.
Terrific interest!
Couple of tweaks I'd suggest:
1. top left, angle the teapot so spout faces a little more outward, which also lets us see the full handle.
2. bottom left, in order to keep all the tones and colors similar (soft white dishes, yellow light) except for your pop of pink, I'd remove the pepper shakers. Their sold dark contents + the silver tops are distracting from the flower. Another possibility is to move all the contents of that space to the top left - as a diagonal balance to the pink flower. Move so both shakers are visible, or only one. Don't have one just partial view.
3. Re the b&w: now the pepper container becomes what you look at first because of its darkness. Remove, then make your flower darker via use of red filter in pp. If you're not familiar, you could post a downloadable color shot to the post processing forum and ask for instructions/examples of black and white processing.
