Hi
It is getting better and better!
Some suggestions if you want.
You could brighten your sky_sphere again, it seems too faint against
incandescent light.
It makes me feel a very heavily cloudy (or masked by a building)  sky.$

And what about a render with anti_aliasing?
You could do a pretrace without AA, save a radiosity data file and load it
for final trace with AA and better resolution.
See "Dummy radiosity" on Jaime Vives Piqueres' site for this technique, if
you don't know it of course. :-)
