I need help with the lighting texture on this image:



The lighting does not look realistic to me. Is there something wrong with the texture, shape, opacity, or what? I cannot figure this out. Any advise would be fantastic.

It's hard to imagine what sort of light would produce that unusual specular highlight on the wall.

Fixed Image

I changed the lighting to reflect background colors rather than background specularity, and I also changed to a more complex background. I also added some color highlights to the rugs so that they were more interactive with the lighting in the image. Is this final image too dark? Should the lighting have a bit higher intensity?

the new one is really nice, u just gotta make it so the rugs actually look like they're on the wall now. ATM they sorta look like theyve just been pasted there, kind of like cards in a computer slitaire game.
