I agree with the yellowness. A little too much for my taste. It looks like a
fun scene to tweak lighting on for hours and hours :)
have you thought about a night-time variation? i know it wouldn't get the
points across that you wanted to make, but it might look neat anyway.

Attached is a photograph I came across last year when researching a proper
lighting for "The Three Blind Mice Return" (my POVComp entry). It was
largely the inspiration for this type of a scene. (Also note the vertical
framing.)

In the photo the wall itself looks yellow, with not as much yellow light.
Your wall looks white-ish with lots of yellow light. Or maybe the photo just
has a better radiosity setting that allows the wall to spread the color
better ;)

Hmmm... I fear that you are correct. I kind of enjoy the yellowish, though.
Maybe simply because I've gotten so used to it. I used Jaime's light
macros, so blame him. ;-) But seriously, it's pretty easy to adjust the
temperature of "the sun" (Honestly, I don't fully understand what I'm doing
with those macros). In this case, I made it pretty low.

He probably used God's "Let there be light" macro's, which I'm told, render
very quickly. ;-)

Perhaps hellfire's aburning outside?

It certainly balances the composition.
And granted there are dado rails set at almost any old height in even in the
same 19th century NY country home.
e.g. http://www.maplegroveny.org/resources/03History.pdf
But would Shakers have built a rail with such a large cross-section? And
placed it at mantel height fit for an Irish pub - imagine a line of empty
beer glasses perched on that... Perhaps I was thinking of the utility of a
chair rail - to protect both wall and furniture, and 3 or 4 inches high.
There are some rather more spartan interiors to view at e.g.
http://shakermuseumandlibrary.org/ourhistory.htm
If you do stretch your format vertically perhaps the more shaker-typical peg
board would make sense.

Quick portrait-style render. I think I like this better. But perhaps I
shouldn't have cut-off the bottom of the table leg.
Also, I think I need to spend some time working on the floor now. Their
floors were not nearly so shiny and polished, and generally had larger,
lighter colored boards.
Comments?

Yes, I like this better too. Now you might experiment with the crucifixion
shadow on a higher level, against the wall... But maybe that would become to
explicite.
There is an interesting *conflict* as it were, between the horizontal
shelf(?) and the projection of the window. As if spirituality was breaking
through down to earth materialism...
The shelf thing, is that where Shakers hung their furniture in order to
clean the floor? I have seen photographs were that was higher up the wall...

Hmmmm... Interesting thought, but I'll probably keep it where it is in this
image. What I really didn't want to do was "beat you over the head" with
the cross/crucifix. In fact, if the majority of viewers never noticed it,
that would be fine. I often like putting things in my scenes so that if
someone stares at it for 5 minutes, they may eventually exclaim, "Hey! Did
you see this?"
I _may_ create other versions, or other Shaker scenes. I suppose it largely
depends on how long my interest holds, among other things. I've also
thought it would be neat to produce (I don't know what it's called) a series
of 3 pictures: the large central image, with the two smaller (tall) pictures
on the side. But I do not see this scene working well that way. It would
likely be a new scene.

Last night, I looked over my Shaker books again. Most rooms had the
peg-board at about 6 feet up the wall, and some rooms also had the lower
"dado rail" (it's a new term for me), which apparently is there to prevent
the back of the chairs (or other furniture) from banging against the wall.
As such, mine appears to be a little too high to be realistic.
I experimented with changing the height of the rail last night. Also, the
highest point of the wall that is visible is only around 5 feet high, so the
pegboard could not be seen (if it existed).
Thank you for all of your input. I really appreciate it. I'm learning.
:-)

Ya know ...
I keep coming back and looking at this image. I really like it allot.
I think it has a very warm, soothing feeling about it. I'd like to
sit there and soak up the warm sunlight. Very nice.

Thank you. :-)
I should have an updated version out later this week. I'm tweaking again...
