This is a great start, John.  You've passed your POV Rite of Passage with this
cool interpertation of the classic sphere-and-checkered-floor.  If you want to
hone your skill try this suggestion:
make a simple scene using that red and gold wall texture is some subtler way.
That texture seems to a favorite with new users; I recall using it on walls in
my early scenes.  Even then I could tell that it was too loud and busy for use
on big objects.  Experiment with scaling it down to look good on a 3x4 test
slab;
play with the surface normals; try adding a second, translucent texture.
