Lighting Setup 3; with the ceiling in shadow, there’s more emphasis on the floor (which I like)…but there’s nothing to look at except bare concrete
Lighting Setup 4/final render, composited. Figured the leaves and branches attracted enough attention to the floor, so I went with lighting similar to Setup 2 and added a building that’s barely visible through the window.

Got the recommendation around 8 months ago to practice making an environment. It’s been a loooong time since I’ve done something like this-- probably not since my first year of using Blender. Back then I didn’t have the skill, the technical understanding, the hardware capabilities, or the model or texture libraries to create something believable.
I arguably still don’t have the skill, but I only spent two and a half afternoons on this so who cares. XD
