What bothers me most about this shot is that I can't read what it says behind the glasses. It's sitting there like it could be important, very bold, very obvious, but the glasses are blocking from actually being able to read it.
Otherwise, I think that this is a difficult photo. On one hand, I think that a darker table would help to enhance the feeling of old, and also helps the photos to stand out more, but then it would make the camera blend in too much, and I think you'd lose detail there.
I think you probably went with a lighter table on purpose, which is really the way it looks like it has to be. BUT, a darker table would definately be interesting if it would look right.
The angle and framing/cropping is good. I wonder if you could have taken the strap off the camera? I think that it appears as if the cameara is just falling out of the photo with the strap being so darkk, and going out of the frame.
The focus and clarity are really good. Nice detail in the photos and the camera. All except for on the strap, which kind of blends in to one mush.
Overall a nice image. I like the feel of the photo, and I like the setup, with the photos and the camera. Looks nice in these sepia colors as well.
