Pointers and Opinions needed!!

Hey folks,
Could you give me some ideas on how I can get a more realistic render?
I'm doing this for a client and they like it but I know it could be better.
Any Ideas?

Thanks

Nice shot, looks good, I think some of the materials look too flat, the wood and glass framing might look better with alittle bit of shine on them. When I place the ghost people I try to make them a bit transparent. Perhaps make the wood color alittle less saturated. Not sure how these will change the shot but it might help.

Need better material texture for the tile floor and better mapping and/or wood texture for the wood pieces.
Topaz Denoise 5 or other denoise program will clean up the image really nicely. See attached.

Tone mapping will also help increase intrest - I like Linear Tonemapping an image after it's done rendering, but BEFORE closing the render dialog. I usually start with tonemapping interiors by setting "Dark" level to 1.8 then tweaking up and down from there.

Thanks For the advice guys, I appreciate it.
@Fletch, The touch-up looks good. The program you ran it through smoothed it out and brightened it up. Huge difference between the two.

I like white silhouette cut-out people.
