I think it is great as it is, the floor normals look pretty good and give
the impression of a carpet. I also like the ashtray so don't think it
should be removed. The girl is a really good model and I like the glowing
ghost effect how is that done?

I can't really think of anything to improve this image it looks very good as
it is, I guess the fireplace texture is the only thing that I am not too
keen on the grate just doesn't look right (maybe it needs a bit of black
soot or something) but that is very minor. Should be a good contender for
the IRTC.
