Good job!! Choosing a grayscale palette was the best you could do! I really like the image!

Well, it should be Alfons

The only thing I see that I would “tweak” about this image is that the white surface in the lower-left corner is featureless-white, and therefore feels like “over-exposure.” In a greyscale image, nothing of any size should be 100%-white. By comparison, the slightly-darker area just behind the tray looks fine.

If I were setting this up as a studio photograph, I would probably have put some kind of colored gel over the light that was illuminating that tray, or maybe tilted it very slightly just to cool it off a little bit. “Fox-fox-fox white” is okay for a specular highlight, as in the rim of the cup, but it shouldn’t be a large area.

It might be interesting to work a little bit with the “curves” tool in Photoshop, and then do the same thing in the render, just to bring the tonal-range in a wee bit.
