Here is one I am working on. It didn’t turn out as nice as I had hoped. I reluctantly use people, especially for close-ups, but the room was weak without them. These are the best people I have in my library, and the project doesn’t have the budget for nicer ones. Anyway… as usual… any advice would be appreciated.
my 2 cents:
I would get rid of the people, find a view that has some open floor, so you get some nice semi-glossy reflection, and get rid of the post-pro “haze” that’s blurring the image. Maybe angle the shot up some so you see more of the ceiling.
Best,
Andy
Like it… Think the people do a good job at this resolution - except those closest in the right.
The candles… I would make them a warmer color and make sure they provide some atmosphere
It looks too sinister, gloomy, perhaps make it less warm and dreaming.
ugh, brown carpet… nevermind about the view suggestion, I realize now you were trying to hide something 
I prefer the first view, and I almost think having the people may be a good distraction from the vinyl foreground chairs. Maybe there’s some way to emphasize the interesting architectural parts without having so much of the less inspiring pieces in view.
