Very nice first post!

Too much... you may want to change/reduce the settings used and/or add collect off to
some objects...

Agh... where does this awful render time come from? Did you use radiosity (if you
did, it doesn't look so)?

"I think?" :-) Credit where it's due. Great prog BTW.

Yes I do like it.
Just lower the ambient to 0 please. The shadowed parts on the sheet look way too
bright.
Instead, try and use a fill light or (better but slower) let radiosity do the work
for you.
The main light is too... white.. add a little bit of yellowish hue. Jaime's lighting
macros would be very useful in this case.
The sheet could use better textures: it looks fake right now, add some wrinkles/dirt
to it.
The black objects look too black: I do use rgb 0 too but with some variable
reflections...

Keep up the good work.
