The table's not too dirty at all, but it *does* look too much like the wall.

Didn't the old smoke look more like a single strand? I think I preferred that.

Smears and fingerprints on the glass.

The batteries could use some slight reflection, maybe. So could the
lamp.. or maybe just make that a color which is almost, but not QUITE,
black. (Very few things in the real world are so black that they soak up
all the light that hits them.)

Lots and lots and LOTS of junk. Another pencil, or maybe a pen, some
more electronic test equipment, various sizes of screws, wire clippings,
crumbs. And why does this man have no coffee? More scrap paper with
numbers and things scribbled on it. And more degradation: stains on the
table, stains on the paper, dings in the metal bits, scratches and
imperfections in the table wood, teeth marks on the pencil, dust on the
monitor, etc etc...

Oh, and what on earth are you using for fill lighting? In some places it
looks like ambient or a fill light, and in others it looks like it might
be radiosity.. radiosity would be the far better choice here.
