What strikes me as more of a problems is a combination of the following:

1. We have three tall objects that are almost exactly the same height.
2. The tall objects are lined up in a perfect row.
3. We have three short objects almost the same size.
4. The short objects are lined up in a perfect row.

We need more variety, actually. Move a few objects forward or backward 
to break up the lines, and give the scene more depth.

I take that back--the urn is farther back than the bottle and candle. 
However, it doesn't *feel* like it is--the top is lined up with the top 
of the bottle too well.

And the Format source code tells me that *really* the indicator of an 
error is whether the index has changed value or not. If it has *not* 
changed value, then some of the Format class' innards assume that since 
parsing didn't happen, an error must have occurred. (Pause for 
Buddhist-like contemplation of this leap of logic and faith.)
