Thanks for the comments, always good to hear feedback. ;)

Here's another progress shot... changed view angle, added many lights, and developed materials further.

I have updated the original post with more accurate number for processing time of entire scene.

Components are copied as many times as they repeat. :) sometimes 2x, sometimes 1700x

Here's a progress shot with some post pro vignette, glow/volumetrics/depth. (probably a little too much post pro. :? )
Changed more lighting here, added a couple lights on wall behind camera to fill foreground stairs better.

a little higher res now, with more subtle post-pro depth and volumetrics.

Have you tried a slight f-number change to add depth at render time? would be interesting to see on a shot like this one

thanks pdwyer and rich! I just updated the image in the post above... it's a bit sharper now.

When I mentioned I was adding depth in postpro, I should have said it was not a depth of field, but more just a boost in contrast in certain places to make the space feel "deeper".
I will use DOF when doing a shot with a foreground and background object, yes, thank you.

I was about to say that what I like best is how you have conveyed the "depth" of the space... Totally agree: if I was the photographer I would never use any DOF in a shot like this one in order to not "squish" the image.
Good job.. :^:
