It looks really good, just i think the smoke looks fairly bright.
Furthermore the shadowed parts of the wood on the left look much brighter
than the left side of the book for example.  Probably reducing the ambient
would help.

As 'Is' mentioned, the table looks to clan apart from the 'writings'. 
Some more (previously made) burns from the iron and some scratches would
look nice.

I had a look at the small radiosity version and it looks fairly natural
(as far as i can see at that size)  You should expect a yellow tint with
all the wood.  The other walls of the room are important too of course,
furthermore you an vary the light source color. 

And of course don't forget to turn all ambient finishes to 0 (apart from
the lamp)
