I find this a disturbing picture. It's too out of context for me to enjoy. The man and vase alone would work, but that part too needs contrast adjustment, I'd prefer to be able to tell where the man stopped and the sofa started. As for the cat...well what can I say, is he broken? Intending to use the vase for a litter box? Just doesn't work for me.
With the tone being about the jewelry, the cat should be relaxed and preening...reeking of luxury. Is that possible? Perhaps not with the cat perched on the rim of a vase in bright light but still it would go a long way to make the jewelry on his neck a believable item. I like the lighting on the man, the contrasting tones are nice but it's so distracting to have the side of his face, as well as his arm, disappear into the sofa.
I can appreciate the effort that was made here, it just doesn't work.
