Well, you asked for it...

Overall, I like the image, but I would change a few things, mostly personal
taste.

First, I like the laptop color/texture.  It is unlike anything I have ever
seen, but it is attractive.

I would make the sword a little more realistic by making the handle and
hand guard different materials than the blade.

I would do something different with the area over the laptop screen where
it looks like a black shadow by color, but placement makes it obvious that
it is part of the cover.

The shadows are also a little dark, so I would experiment with lighting a
bit more, or maybe tweaking the ambiance of the various surfaces.

Depending on the amount of time available, I would also consider spending
some time on the keyboard.  It looks good, but it looks like it is either
using a scanned image, or cubes instead of real key shapes.  It looks kind
of 2 dimensional.

I would like to see what could be done with the idea of adding a Bible
sitting on the table, perhaps under the tip of the sword...
