Looks fine, but you should probably avoid using ambient for non-glowing
objects, especially if you're intending to try radiosity later. If you
must have some kind of fill lighting, use a fill light, or global
ambient (simpler to adjust), or even use radiosity in the first place
(even extremely crude rad settings will generally produce results that
are at least as good as standard ambience, and have little effect on
render time).
