Look at the faces on the blue books.
I could not find my original photo but it was even more dramatic. In my original photo the books were almost black and they opened up very impressively while not effecting the rest of the photo.
And there is a bit less burnout on the white lamp shade.
Here are two more examples. Look at the detail in the snow. And look at the driveway and how the areas in shadow are brighter and there is a little more shape to the clouds.
