Lighting Challenge final render

Here is the final rendered image, composited with ambient occlusion:

Updated render

Fixed the composition a little.

Shaders are almost finalized. There's a weird artifact happening on the wineglass that I don't really know how to fix. Otherwise, all that's left of surface is the wine bottle, roughing up the edges on the cheese, and the cork.

Lighting is still preliminary, but it will match the reference image.

Going for wine and cheese now. Obviously the swiss cheese wedge isn't finished yet.

Lighting reference and paintover

I want natural light as if coming from a window on the left side.

Maybe even suggest blinds:

I'm lighting by eye, but here's a photo for reference taken as close to my eye level as possible.

I haven't gone on to match color yet, but I'm pretty happy with the light placement. The three main sources of light are:

• lamp - key
• fan light - key
• window - fill

I have to be kind of careful of the lighting conditions going on outside because it does affect how much light is coming from the window. The outdoor condition in which the above photo was taken is overcast around 4:30pm.
