I don't quite understand the context of your title. The image is a great setup. I maybe the only one but I wish there was a bit more of the glass of scotch than the keyboard. Just my honest opinion.
Not sure I quite get this shot, though I think it would have been better compositionally to turn the laptop in a little more (rotate clockwise) to integrate it in with the other objects.
Hmmm, I'm afraid I don't understand the conspiracy of this one...sorry...perhaps on my second look through it will make more sense. Other than that, I like the setup and lighting. A cool photo.
