Well, it's just that this is the very first image I've ever posted that 
looks like a real-world object. It actually looks like something. Most 
of my other images have been just vague patterns and so forth...

That is indeed impressive.

I'm not sure that the floor will be the same in the final version. While 
it does look lovely, I was thinking maybe dappled grey could look good 
as well... (and your offering isn't too bad either. A tad too monochrome 
for me, but I could make just the floor that colour perhaps...)

I had im my head a final image involving a few mirrors and some 
striplights (a bit like a display case in a shop), but we'll see how far 
I actually get...
