everything Carolly said Lighting can make or break your image. Try and play with your spots to make it appear that light is actually coming from the fixtures on the wall. Also, the image appears too plain to me for some reason, even taking into account the bad lighting. Try adding some more stuff in there. Even if its just tweaking the textures of the walls. It just is too stark to seem realistic to me. Also, I'd tone down the "sexuality" a bit and try to make it a little more "romantic". These are just my opinions of course, and don't necessarily reflect the views of the artistic community as a whole. Evo
