Radiosity is almost always a dramatic improvement.  It gives depth to shadowed
areas.  Ambient occlusion (which falls out of radiosity) is a part of life, and
scenes look flat without it.

The mirror on the left is too flush with the wall, and the reflection is too
cloudy (unless you intend it to be a very dingy mirror).

If that's sunlight coming through the door on the right, it needs to be /a lot/
stronger.

With the floor flush with the walls of the passage, how does the lid support
itself?
