Lighting is (almost) everything
The idea and the composition are good but the built-in flash makes the shot so-so.
It could have been way better with "natural" lighting, if you got any : sunlight from a window, or artificial lighting, both placed thoroughly left or right to model the bottles shapes.
Or even an off-camera flash, but this is another story ;-)
If you have the opportunity to reshoot with a different lighting scheme, I think the picture would be fabulous, because of the repeating pattern and the colors.
Try also to open your diaphragm to f/4.5 (I'm guessing you have the 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5) to yield a more blurred background.
