Well...i'm not sure if this is gonna be my final image, i was thinking maybe i'd move in closer to the corner of the room, make it a little less broad, then add more to the desk, but with time winding down i don't know how realistic that is... Comments/Critiques greatly appreciated at this point...

blank, devoid of anything alive, xept the poor lonely fish in the tank..sans seaweed, shells, etc. Time stands still, suspended into nothingness. I like it... reminds me too, of these sleek, formal offices that you dare not potter in with a speck of dust on your newly polished suede or black leather shoes.. sort of what a lot of Asians..particluarly the Japanese and Chinese would have! Even the desk has that feel! Curious question..what is that shadow plain? Runs across the blue globe, the light, onto the glass, the wall...not part of anything..like it's floating.... I can figure out the one on the carpet and the floor..the shadow, that is..but not he one running thru..

That's the shadow of the ring around the center of the lamp, if i'm not mistaken.

I still like the tassel idea.....

No. Not that it's a bad idea, i just think it'd ruin the austere cleanliness of everything...and i wouldn't be able to make it realistic.
