Very nice!

But that water glass is in a precarious spot...  I'd knock that over at the
first carriage return!

Good to see your pov muse back!  That's classic Jaime to me:  baroque and
lonelisome atmosphere. :)

The green lamp looks somewhat out of place there...

   Thanks! ...but can you tell me what kind of tweaking you have in mind?

   Oops! :) ...perhaps the table is a little too small.

   Thanks! ... and yes, you nailed it: that's my preferred style.

   You mean that it is badly placed? Or that is it the wrong choice of lamp? 
Or perhaps both? :)

Truly a splendid image! Thanks for sharing it. As for a suggestion... how about
a bit of "dramatic tension" (in a whimsical vein) created by a pair of wire rim
spectacles left on the seat of the chair?

Best Regards,

Very nice! Lovely nuances. I haven't smoked a pipe in some time, but I always
appreciated hand carved briarwood pipes. Anyone who uses a pipe, usually has
more than one and has a nice little pipe stand for them...

Take a look at Boswell's pipes:

I believe the typesetter's brand name is flipped or mirrored. Not sure, 
though...

A great scene.

Huh, the green looks brighter than the light itself. ;)

I'm assuming that was intended. That's why I'd prefer repositioning of the
camera for more explicit focus on the lamp.
