This surely interprets the song. It has that nostalgia feel of the 50's and even the feel of those old poems from the last century.
The colors is giving this feel as much as how the items are arranged. For some reason the pearls draw my eyes especially. They just look like the well placed gift of a lover, carefully arranged before his sweetheart arrives.
I did not know about the movie and the history of the song, Your comments about are greatly appreciated.
I also think that the photo was well taken. It is well focused. The details are sharp and the background non-obstructive so that there are no distractions. Best luck for the contest.

I really like that you used an Italian white wine for this :) Bianco di Custoza.
Great set up of the white wine with soft straw like color, the lovely creak colored roses, tablecloth background and the classy elegant addition of the string of pearls hanging on the fluted glass.
Focus, set up, use of light are all fabulous here.
Great song title to go along with this comp.
Fine work..Good Luck!

This impressive composition together with your description shows beautifully that you have done much more as just taking a picture that fits - you have CREATED a perfect ambiance to match it with your story telling skills to explain what it means even people born after that time can understand it
your subject choice is more than fantastic - the color range awesome - the ambiance you created is well balanced and harmonious in each aspect
Your picture is taken from the perfect distance and excellent angle so every detail is clear visible and the arrangement can touch our heart
it is made with love and that reflects in your presentation too
technically a perfect picture, with the perfect focus, contrast and lighting, it is clear and sharp in details and for sure a very attractive composition, well done, all the best for the contest

A very fine still life to illustrate the song. I have seen the Jack Lemmon movie several times and even insisted my 16-year-old son watch it many years ago to prove to him that great movies did not need to contain profanity. The colors, varying heights of your objects, and overall composition is very good.

a very beautiful and sophisticated composition with the roses, pearls and and surprisingly an Italian rather than Greek wine bottle; lol;;

I really like how you put this together to evoke the song. Everything is arranged in an artistic way with close attention to spatial balance. The vintage look adds to the atmosphere. Technically excellent with great lighting and detail. Well done and good luck in the contest.
