Jim seems to agree that more objects would not necessarily enhance the 
scene.  I like your idea of a shadow of some kind.  In fact, I may add 
shadows to other parts of the image as well.  I guess it all depends on how 
well Radiosity works for situations where most of the lighting is indirect. 
Or, I may have to "fake" some of the radiosity, by introducing other broad 
light sources.  Either way, very little scripting, lots of rendering.

Or was she there 100 years ago and just never came back?  Ok, the dust would 
be bad...  ;-)

Thanks for the comment.  It gives me a few more ideas.  Rest assured, I 
won't be doing anything very radical to this scene, but I would like to 
reuse these objects and this environment in other scenes, if/when I get 
inspired to do so.

Well, I've got a lot of technical issues to mess around with.  It's times 
like this that having Tortoise CVS managing my source is handy.
