with more light, ofcourse.

seems kind of plain in the middle maybe add some effects!

I think it's too empty, and parts of the text are unreadable because the bg is too bright.

splatter brushes FTW would totaly finish this off.

The problem with this is that the composition is off (landscape would of been better) and the colours are quite dull and blurry looking

It's an ok idea just needs better execution.

Terrible colours, unrealistic blood spatter (most likely a brush), The focal point really should be the hooks but you can barely make them out, the floor looks poorly blended in and the lighting/shading is awful.

1st of all, that is not the floor.. it's where the meat is dealt with...
i know the splatters are horrid...i just tried to follow some advices and posted the result...
colors? tell me what color should the blood be? or the table? or maybe i should've left the background white like in the original photo...that i took with my cell-phone, a LQ photo..

You just pointed out everything that's wrong with it...

1. If it's not the floor, you need to make it look more like a meat counter than a poorly blended floor.

2. When people say add something in the middle, they did not necessarily mean really fake looking blood blotches.

3. The colour of the blood on the 'counter' is fine but the rest of the image doesn't go with it. It's practically just black.

4. You shouldn't blame the fact that you used a low quality photo. Either increase the quality in photoshop or use better images.

5. The wall in the photo is plain... but you can still do more with it than make it plain black. Try using textures, perhaps add a hanging cow or something.

Overall it hasn't been executed well. You can tell that everything in the piece is fabricated and just slapped together. Practice makes perfect but perhaps try your hand at some tutorials first.
