Yes, I thought it was something like that. Maybe it is the alignment of the 
window's shadow with the table which should be shifted a tiny bit in order 
to break its symmetry. It is rather subtle what I have in mind and would 
need a bit of experimentation. Also the wall would be great with fine lines 
or cracks here and there, and/or some irregularities... Oh well, I should 
stop now ;-)

To be sure, this is a great scene anyway, Jim, especially the lamp, but also 
the feeling/touch of the objects.
