It's slightly underexposed. A bit of work in PS should brighten it up and add contrast. Crop it on the right-hand side to get rid of that distracting thing there.
Personally I don't think the subject is all that interesting, but that's me.

how about a better angle?

I'm not sure, but I think the spigot falls out of your depth of field, but the tile is in focus. The handle and even plants seem to be out of focus.

You shot at 1/100 of a second. Should be able to drop that to 1/25 or 1/16th, reduce the aperature a stop or a stop and a half, and take care of both the depth of field, and the underexposure.

Also... Personally I'd crop the shot so that the subject fills the frame. I don't think the background is doing much for the composition.

If you find those plants in the wall interesting, thats what I'd focus on.

Better that its in focus, worse that its a) distractingly tilted, and b) not as interesting of a subject.

Proper faucet photography requires the following..

Subject in focus and properly exposed... no distracting elements (weird tilts can be distracting)

Once there, for composition, you want to emphasize whats interesting about the subject... particularly faucets. What little I find interesting is that a) they stick out of the wall, b) water emits from them, and c) they often have an interesting organic shape and texture... being made of corroded metals more often than not.

You can up the contract between textures or colors, emphasize those. A shadow can really give a sense of depth and make the composition more interesting. Some angles make you see the subject in a new way... while others simply point out that you are looking at a tilted photograph.

Imagine, for a simple exercise, all of the ways one can see a faucet. Change the colors in your minds eye, the shape, the shape of the drops falling from it, etc... you could do high contract black and white, long shadows, even shadow of the water drops on the wall.

I'm really going on about this aren't I... and on such a stupid subject...
