Pelting! Plus, with black keyboard contrasting with the white of page may look spiff. But...Then you'll have to change the color of that stripe up top. - What about a dark brown marble, for RICHness and full flavor? Ha, I'm a right pain. No, not casting… Pelting!

With proper lighting it may even turn out a better pic than with a white one. Great name! So your keyboard is black…It’s yours, let’s see it.

I like the clarity and dimension to the pipe and goggles, though the earpiece is kinds funky I get the idea, but keyboard is now too flat. What if you took a photo of your actual keyboard with glasses laid on it and pipe at side or bottom, complete with a bit of tobacco spill and smudged up keys, taken from an angle that isn't directly overhead.  -  Like how YOU see it when sitting at your computer. Maybe not possible to do, or to stick it in header. - I don't know. Just a suggestion. Do it! Well…You know I’m not much of a critic but…
