Added a few ferns and a bit more interest to the ground plane.

I'm not quite sure what to do with the bottom left of the scene.... Its bit too bare for my liking.

Could do a flower in the corner, could be the focus by using some nice bright colors.

Very nice work!! Just a question... What is the source of the light on the right hand side?? It seems to be taking away the spot light a little from those lovely balls you have??

Ice Queen

There is one spot light emitting over the ground cover approx 1/8th up from bottom left of centre.

I think that is the one in question.

The Intensity was on 30 I dropped it back to 15 for the render below. user added image
