I would not consider *more stuff* here. I have the impression that the scene
should remain rather empty. perhaps the suggestion on the right of a
cupboard or something? Just the shadow on the wall...
Yes the shadow of table and chair feet is annoying. That is a radiosity
issue I believe. Not sure how to correct that. I am also still learning by
trial and error how to use it correctly in each scene...

Strangely enough, I just had the vision of an old woman, who was sitting on
the chair, contemplating the sunset, and who got up and stepped away just
before you took the snapshot!
There is an atmosphere of an invisible presence in this scene, other than
the beholder.
