Thanks mate, I get it, tempting is it not?

A short time render to try the leaf thing, this is a flat plane with a png transparency. Thoughts?

One png to cover both windows seems to work better but I will have to try another view and possibly a mirror or two.

First,

Set your Exposure algorithm to Filmic and set exposure and gamma to 1.0.
Next, try boosting the "Medium" from default of .5 to be something like 1, and then 2, maybe even up to 5 or 6 until the whole space is generally as bright as you would like. You can then decrease or increase the dark and light settings in a similar manner, adjusting the tone mapping of the scene to get a better overall professional tone mapped look.

Second,

I wouldn't put them on the window itself. I would put them high up where you can't see it.
You could try the attached 2 tree plans and see which one you like best.

try attached.

Thanks Fletch, the image is not on the windows but set back and off to one side, I just forgot to allow for the third dimension. I'll have a go with those in a minute.

Oh dear, rotated the hdri to get a better throw of light through the 'leaves' but I have to laff. Oh dearie me folks, like a post tequila apocalypse....

Just to make it clear, I am laughing at the situation and myself. You just have to sometimes.

Maybe try to use "prelim" setting to test lighting and shadows on a low resolution preliminary image before rendering your "final".
