Folks:

Thanks for the respond on my image.

I agree that scale is sort of confusing here.  It is always a big issue 
for me.  I think one of the crucial things is getting the textures to be 
scaled in the proper proportions to the objects.  Also, I like shiny 
stuff -- it makes for an appealing image -- but it detracts from any 
sense of realism in the scene.  So I will have to work on making the 
copper texture of the building tarnished, while still making it look 
like copper.

When I come back to my work after not looking at it for a long time, it 
always seems like the objects are too reflective, too specular and their 
  textures are two large for the object size.  This tends to make them 
look like toys rather than real things.  Although, it is comforting to 
think that the original Myst also had this problem. :)
