Very nice work! One thing I would say is the small normal map details on the spiral pillars I'd say either take that detail off completely or make it larger secondary geometry detail IMAO
Cool! The light rays are really nicely done, and those bricks on the floor have really great depth! I'd make a closer shot of the light reacting with the skeleton? Almost didn't notice it!
It took me a little while to realize what the spiral columns were though. At first I thought they were some kind of big plants of something. My brain might be too logical on this one, but I would expect those columns to be broken considering that the floor and ceiling (probably way more solid than those columns) are broken.
Thinking about it though, I wonder if the scene wouldn't be stronger if you simply got rid of all those spiral columns altogether. It might seem a bit heavy handed, but they do not really add anything major to the scene (not a focus point) and they do distract from both the mirror/skeleton and the ivy. Could be worth trying.
Looks amazing! I read the spiral columns fine right away, but if other people were confused by them I suppose it's a problem.
Also not sure you should touch up anything in photoshop, shipping projects don't get to use it, and that lens flare at the bottom just feels distracting to me.
