It looks great!

The focal blur seems perfect to me - just enough on the hall to give a slight
sense of depth, but enough on the tape to draw the viewer to look past to the
crime scene itself.

The lighting is good, but maybe there's something more that can be drawn out of
the scene and/or POV? There's something slightly CG about them that I can't
quite put my finger on...

Did anyone ever get IES files into POV somehow? They often give the appearance
of higher realism due to the complexity of the light emitted...

And perhaps try some specular on the leaves of the pot plants - they are quite
shiny at the right angle in RL.

Another fantastic render - thank-you very much for sharing with us!

Cheers,
Edouard.
