I thought that the lighting, texturing, camera placement, (and aspect 
ratio) were the strong parts of the picture. The texturing is 
understated but very, very competently handled.  The lighting, love it 
or hate it, is a very active element in the picture, effecting the sense 
of space, mood, and providing the main tonal contrast.  The colors by 
comparison are mostly natural, and largely of a middle to light 
tonality.  It also must be noted that the lighting and texturing are the 
main elements emphasized by the relatively austere architectural design 
being depicted.  The overall effect is of a tasteful, harmonious 
interior displayed in a well-crafted scene. The depth of detail and 
active presence of the camera lends a photorealistic quality.

The title puzzled me though.  "Incubus", an "evil spirit that comes onto 
persons in their sleep; a nightmare" seems intended as a contrast to the 
mild ambience of the room. Perhaps a suggestion that the apparent 
harmony of the scene may hide something evil?  Or is the observer an 
intruder?
