May I be perhaps a touch on the hyper critical side?

Assuming I can be........I want to like this but there is something in it that is stopping me. I think it's the depth. As usual your BG is awesome, detailed, beautifully textured, great composition, well flawless. Sadly I can't say the for the render(s). I personally like the split focal as the choice of second render ruins the flow. I would've placed your nic to far left and then perhaps moved the render more into the centre, perhaps a third of the way across. I also am not overly keen how you have allowed the BG texture to overlay the render (or vice a versa). It does detract from the quality of it. Also the lighter shading behind the render removes any and all depth that it has. The light source seems to come from the upper right of the render and not behind it. The shadows are seemingly meaningless as a result and depth is removed.

If I can't be hyper critical.........I love it! Great work man!

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but just some general thoughts.

Criticism like that never sounds harsh, trust me. I like that kind of thing. But from the amount of it, I don't know what to start fixing .
As for the render on the left, I created two copies on top of the layer and played with opacity and motion blur on them,

I'd start by ermoving the texture on the render everywhere but the face. There it gives it an added edge. Then I'd remove the highlight behind the render as well. Perhaps also if you could flip the lefthand mini-render 180 degrees it might help improve the flow.

Good idea, I will update later.
