I really like this image. It conveys a strong feeling. I can't explain it
better. I wish I could, but..
The curtain is very impressive, and the same goes for the rest of the modelling.
the only "complaint" I have is that the desk and the table by the window seem to
be too alike in texture. perhaps it is the intention, but that's me.
I like the grainy feel of the image, it removes the "sharp edges" that tend to
make a raytraced image look computer-generated.
