The strong items of this image are:
1) Great natural colors, yellowy wooden
2) Leading lines, a reversed Z, enter at the lower left, to the right, up to the left corner and out again with the smoke. The Zen of Aroma Therapy! :)
3) Nice shallow dof tries to emphasize the tip of the smoking thingy ("wierrook" in Dutch, don't have a dictionary at hand)

The only dislike is the background. I would like it better if it were fully black instead of noisy bluegrey/ antraciet.

Overall a good photo. 8

Torn between trying to decide if the DOF limitation matter or not. I do like it and maybe am trying too hard to say something more.

DOF is just perfect. Nice catch of the smoke. Nice composition.

Nice composition and viewpoint and use of smoke to add interest at top of frame.
Would allow just a small touch more of background at the right edge so that tip of holder isn't quite so close to edge of frame. Just a touch though.
Also curious as to how lower DOF would work - I think it could add further interest.
