Sony A7R3, shot at 44mm, 1/8 sec, F9, ISO 400. Cropped in LRc, Soft lights left and right plus some ambient from left side window. I taped a 16x24 photo I took in California that was mounted on foam core to show an old ranch scene in a kitchen. DeNoise in Luminar, LR brush's in each window pane to soften the scene to make it look more realistic. This was shot in my studio.

I like the landscape image through the window assembled in your studio. Very clever. The table elements though seem incongruent. Still-life pictures are difficult for that reason. It's hard to choose and arrange objects that naturally fit together. In this case, the small cans of curry and paprika seem unrelated to the fruit. Are they oranges? Hard to tell and not sure what the purpose of the metal cage is, or the utensil on the right. The idea is good but the design of the table elements needs work, in my opinion. I also think an old natural wood table surface might fit better than the patterned fabric.
I understand that as a studio shot, we as photographers try to create soft balanced light that make our portraits of people look flattering. But for a scene like this which attempts to recreate a replica of a primitive cabin, I'm wondering if the light is not too perfect? In other words, the picture might look more real with harsh contrasty light than soft flat light. Just a thought.
