Ok peeps, I'd like some constructive advice on how to make this type of shot better?

Its something I'd not tried before and when I first did it, I thought it looked amazing! THen, the more I looked at it, the less I likes the overall impression

The way I set the shot up didnt help me, as I couldnt use a tripod... and was too lazy to setup again. I also didnt have any additional lighting

I did try a few effects though... I had the funky idea th use the reflection from a Fairly liquid bottle, to give a cool coloured backdrop. LOL.

The green stands out, but Im not sure it matches the blue theme

Please give me some advice

But i think you need to try a different colour
