Very nice!

Why is the door in the shadows? (I checked out the reference pictures as well)

Try softening the shadows as well, unless this is high-noon kind of a picture

it is… just 'cause I love high contrast shadows… but I’ll do at least another with different lights…

i think the shadows look fine, could use a little softening. the cloth doesn’t look right.

i hate ray lamps :<

Ok… I agree about the cloth and now when you mention it the upper window is not right as well (too flat) - I think that if you’ll take out these two the picture will be completely photo realistic…

different lights…
