I have some suggestions for you:
    Add more light sources to your room (or even an area light)
    Try to straighten the leaves they are little bit too curved for now
    Add some more texture to leaves to look not so plastic (for example with
sand-paper algorithm)
    wider camera angle would be nice
    the center of the leaves(i don't know correct word for this one) is too
dark, try to add some green pigment at those
    the background texture (at upper left corner) is quite ugly, put a new
wallpaper =)
    and I would like to see it if there were some media fog effect  (f.e.
with smoking inside algorithm)
    Otherwise quite nice although it isn't really raytraced, but that ray
capture method looks almost as good=)


and sorry about my bad english (and the fact that clock is here 5 am doesn't
make it any better)

Matti
