Very nice. A bit more work, and you'll have it. I presume that you are focussing upon the relationship between the performers (especially with the look on his face), so comments will be directed that way. My suggestions: Tone down the lighting on the floor, her foot, and the band on the capital of the column in back. That is distracting. Augment the lighting on her face, and add some backlit edges to her hair and shoulder to arm leading towards his hands (this would be her right side). That way there is an arc of lighted bits linking the two faces, so the viewer's eye will travel between them. The palm is the only green thing in the scene. You could tone the hue down, but I'd rather that you added another on teh left of the image behind the man. It would frame the scene and add more intimacy to the moment. There are 5-6 different palms in the free stuff sections (check PropsGuild and 3dplants and Lannie's, too). It would partially cover teh nice wainscotting behind him, but I think it would help. I like the painting of the violinist: it suggests darker themes, too, wih her pallor. The frame is out of scale, but if it didn't cast so much shadow, people wouldn't notice it. You might make the purple a bit less strong, but that's a minor tweak. All of this is my humble opinion, of course! Carolly
