It looks like the server rejects too-large images, which is good.

I think It's not bad for a first serious attempt.  If you could zoom in
you'd see the chalk has the brand name and the balls are properly numbered.
 The only problem is that it's kinda style-less.  The code is also pretty
bad, but it works. Comments?

I would make the lampshades a different color, they get lost in the table
itself. The perspective seems a little strange too, the way it is forced. I
like the walls, great pattern.

Nice!

I think, the green of the felt (?) should be darker.
Try to make the wooden sides of the Table as separate pieces, and apply the
texture before rotating (or rotate the texture) . Now it looks like you take
a solid block and cut a hole in it,because all the grain is oriented in the
same direction.
What's up with the floor on the left? It looks like the walls - perhaps it's
to reflective?

Give us a nice close up of one corner, two or three balls, the chalk an one
of this sticks you play the game with (my dictionary refuses to give me the
right world :-)).

That's probably good advice, but every pool hall I've ever been to has
green shades like that =)  But I have advice to change the cloth color, so
maybe I'll darken the cloth up a bit and see if that helps, or even try one
of the ugly new wave colors (Cyan, Red, etc.)

I wanted to get a little of everything in with the perspective, maybe I'll
move the rack and do a side view or something.

That's my next mission (felt is right by the way)

Good point, that should be easy to five (they're already separated)

All the light is coming from the right that isn't going to the table's
surface, so that's all shadow.  I did that on purpose, but if it looks ugly
I'll throw in lights.

Cue stick is the word, but most players just call it a 'stick' :)

I'd say that's a "decent" pool table scene alright.  Having made one myself I
know the trouble it can be to put one together.  The floor on the left seems
odd to me too, as was already mentioned, and the green felt cloth being
bright-green, I agree.  Texturing and modeling otherwise looks fine (aside
from the woodgrain direction at the ends too), I think there are so many
variations among pooltables that a person could make most any kind look okay
as long as the modeling works for it.
I can't see in this image whether there is a brand name emblem at the far end
or not; I put one onto mine, a Brunswick pool table.  Also I don't see any
marker diamonds along the sides, a necessity I would think.  I can just manage
to see a cue-stick tip on there though.  The lights seem very near the table
to me, difficult to tell, but about the camera perspective I know it's not
easy to get a table into view along with any part of a room as well and still
see the things on the table fairly good also.
Anyway, I hope you didn't have nearly as much trouble as I did getting the
parts made and together.

<nitpick>

IIRC it's baize, not felt, as felt wouldn't have enough strength to last 
very long.  Felt isn't a woven fabric, and baize is.

</nitpick>

Of course not being a regular patron of pool halls I may may be wrong :)

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

nice ...
prop the stick up against one of the edges ...
that might give the feel someone has just left and will be returning
shortly...?
