Hi Garth,

I would also do something more with the background. By reducing the light area with a curtain you will repeat the pattern of the figures. The big one partly shading the smaller.

I added a hint of what I mean.

Richard and Allan,
Thanks guys for your observations. The background was a problem for me. It's wrong. I wanted to darken it but I thought the rest of the lighting would be adversely effected (i.e. the faces and tiles). I'll work at it, but I think I'm done with this one.

Thanks again,
Jerome
