I like it ,I am completely new to maya but I think your doing a good job. I am just working on texturing my character I made and getting rigging down abit more but I'd love to make a small scene liek you did but I need to model more stuff for a bigger library .

On a side note I uploaded a glass shader I made using a tutorial for somereason it cannot be acessed..... It is just a small box with directional lighting a wine glass and the shader. I unfortunately may have uploaded the one scene with other experimental or non wokring glass shaders though so if it works now then I can update it with the working glass shader.
