Greetings from the Critique Club!
Let me start off by saying that your image supports a noble cause, if only everyone would work towards the same wish!
This image is one that falls into the category of not having that one eye-catching element that really grabs someones attention. While the concept is strong, their are a few things you could due to spice up the image a bit.
At the moment the word 'peace' is located almost dead center in the image, which is very unnatural to the human eye. This is an excellent place to introduce the rule of thirds, moving the word slightly up or down. Also, the angle you've taken the picture at provides no depth to the subject. Perhaps taking the picture from an angle would provide a more interesting viewpoint of the word.
While I enjoy the combination of elements you've used to create the word, I can't say I see a pattern in your choices. As someone commented below, maybe objects that in some way represent peace could be used, and in that way support the statement you're making in the image.
Lastly, you've done a very good job of lighting the word. Each object is clearly visible, and none are blown out. Even the CD (which can be hard to light) is well lit. However, your background distracts from your word. I think a plain flat black background might have served your purpose well, as it would have focused attention on the word. Unfortunatly that can be hard to achieve in a 'basic' editing challenge, especially with a composition such as this. Perhaps an angled shot would have allowed you to have a flat black background, or as someone mentioned below cropping the shadowed area at the top would even out the background some. In general, I think a clean background would serve this picture very well!
Overall, this is a strong idea! It fits the challenge well, is original, creative and shows an individual interest, but with a few adjustments this could be a great image!
Good Luck!
Lee

| An interesting choice of objects, evokes different areas of life (home, work, nature, industry) I would crop it a little lower so we see a soild grey background, rather than the pools of light along the top edge. Nice sharpness and color. |

| this shot could have been good if each object represented an element of peace... because some of them are irrelevant |
