I know about the empty room, its one of those things I'm trying
to change. And I agree, the new perspective isn't really satisfying,
as others have also pointed out.

That's just about what I thought. The new perspective was kinda
interesting in the beginning, but it loses something after a while. I
need to detach myself from the old perspective to find something,
even if I have to rearrange the scene somewhat.

I know, and I'm thankful for it.

That's a very fine suggestion, haven't really thought about that.

It does actually represent something like a different viewpoint. Not so
much what you've thought of, but in my mind its like a person is
able to see a broader scale of things, have a more omnipotent view
on a world. With the actual "real world" being visible through the
window, and the "fake world" too small to really observe people, but
rather just the landscape (buildings are just too small), I wanted to show
that even on a broader scale we might not grasp everything, that we'd
lose detail.
That's probably the reason why I want such a detailed room, and keep
the worldbowl rather simple, though I do have to change something
about it. It should suggest something larger than is actually in the
bowl, but leaving lots of room for imagination...

Hm. I'll see where these thoughts lead me...

I liked the previous one better. Less distance to the bowl.
It would be nice if there would be more detail in the landscape in the
bowl, suggesting more reality.

PS 
In the previous setup the trick with the lamp and the clouds works out
better. It's completely lost here.

The detail was lowered for these "trial traces". The clouds and
media inside the worldbowl and clouds outside the window
were switched off as well, so they are lost in this image, but
I was trying to get a new perspective. After that, I turn to arranging
the objects and check the lighting.
As for the camera being close to the worldbowl, several have
said that, and I'm trying to get a new perspective while keeping
the other stuff already made in view. Its all about the opposition
real vs unreal, which is why I don't want to focus just
on the worldbowl.
