Well the entire scene has all ambient turned off.  It might be caused by my
radiosity setting being too bright.

What a stunning little image... The colours, the sense of sunshine... The
tree looks cool... That moss is brilliant too... I _like_ this!

Not sure if that's a good idea, myself. Hazy air can be overused sometimes.
I think this looks nice and clean as is, like it's sitting out on a patio
outside instead of a closed space.

While looking at it here I couldn't help thinking that if I could see just a
little bit of a background landscape showing between the bamboo screen that
I'd feel more in the picture than out looking in. Just a thought. Not
anything but a little sky, vegetation, and building colors; with only very
slight hint of there being something back there. In fact, it almost starts
to look that way when I scrutinize it more. It's a fairly small image as
seen here.

There is a little background behind the bamboo.  It is more noticeable in
the larger version.  I didn't want anything obviously behind it only the
hint to avoid detracting from the main focus.
