Firstly, the composition is it's strongest point, the way that the square shape frames the three keys, and how the middle key is shown as shorter than the two beside it, make it a powerful symbol to the viewer. I also think that placing them in them lower half of the picture was a good and strategic move because it allows precisely enough room for the reflection of the keys to sit underneath without hitting the edges of the frame.
Next, the limited and cold colour pallette also serves to create a vivid and strong atmosphere without taking away any of the attention from the main subject (the keys). At the same time, there is enough variation within the blue scheme so that it does not seem entirely flat or plain, with hints of purpleish and greenish blues giving it a little extra pop.
Lastly, the background is all a play on light and shapes, and this adds a lovely abstract quality to the piece. I especially like the bokeh that floats in the middle of the upper half, and how the left and right sides of the upper half directly contrast with each other in black and white. The whites seem searing yet not overdone, so congratulations on managing the effect. I also notice that the grainy texture of the surface they sit on, and this makes it seem as the if the subjects are more grounded rather than floating (adds to powerful impact).
Overall, it's a well made image, and my only advice is to consider blending the watermark a little more into the photo or to use a colour from the image itself, rather than the grey, which tends to make it stick out a little bit.
