It's really a great pic.

It's a great direction to go in.  Atmospheric still life.  I love that. 
   The main drawback for me is that the book needs to be brought up to 
the same level of detail as the glasses.  It looks like a " box { 
something, something texture { pigment { Red } ...."  if you catch my 
meaning.

I wonder what would happen if you played with the color of the media a bit?

I wonder if you like the paintings of Walter Murch?  Unfortunately I can 
find only one example and it doesn't really demonstate the "oily" light 
and atmosphere he was such a master of.
