Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

I like the atmosphere you've managed to achieve.
All the wood looks great, and other objects in the room are very well laid out.
Nice work!

I like the improvements on the floor, and the softer shadows sure are a nice touch.
Good work!

The lightsetup is created with 3 directional lights
1 key light, 2 side lights.
The key light is the strongest one.
gave these ones a slight yellow orange collor
Then i added two area lights representing windows
I have added a texture to the light giving a window effect.
Gave them a slight blue collor.
And i know i posted it in the finished work, but i could not help myself and add some more detail and tweaking some things.

I like the reddish color to the scene.
Just remember though, If you keep picking at something.... soon you will have nothing left

just some suggestions for you to test.
if you didn´t render with gi/fg I would consider to render a ambient occlusion pass and composit it in photoshop. this might improve the "flattness" of the objects, if you know what I mean. you could also try and use a hdri to light the scene in combination with final gathering/mental ray. this enhences realism in lighting.
good job so far!
___ edit
also you might try to use some specular maps on your objects. this would break up the homogenious look of all surfaces in your scene.
everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.
