Personally I think the detail and "stuff" you have there is great.

The desk isn't scratched up enough, and maybe the bottom part of the 
wall that touches the desk. The new sandwich is a great improvement.
The electronic equipment is fine, seems like a small time 
non-professional basement type shop, nothing fancy.

If it were me I'd beat up the desk with scratches and some 
dirt/smudge/grease.

if I take a broad view, the only things that don't look photorealistic 
are the soldering iron, the PC screen, and the black/yellow handle of 
the screwdriver (it's too clean).


Don't get me wrong, I could not do this in a month.
This is a really great pic, and I hope you get a really high score.
