That's really the original point of the picture, anyway - you have 
something that most people consider an ugly weed, put it in a 
constrictive, repressive environment, and have it reaching towards the 
sun and fresh air.  (BTW, another example of the same feeling: ever seen 
the movie Joe Versus the Volcano?  In the beginning, there's a close-up 
shot of a flower {might even have been a dandelion} growing in a crack 
in some pavement, with a horde of identical black shoes stepping all 
around it and walking past).

Hmm, air... maybe I should have the window be opened a bit?

Yes, there are some details, and I had meant to add more but the ones 
that are there don't show up at all.  I was doing the modelling on an 
800x600 detail of the flower, and when I transferred it in to the main 
scene, I realized a may as well have just left the disc.

Hmm, maybe some artificial color contrasts would *appear* good even if 
they aren't technically accurate... I think I'll play around with a 
radial pattern on it, and a small amount of filtered light as well...
