Hi.
I have few environments that I worked on and thought it would be fun to post it here.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
This environment was inspired by Japanese woodblock prints of white bird with white,grey,blue background. I'll post some more work in a bit.

I really like your design choices, patterns and motif overall. The centerpiece is strong... waterfall is a nice touch.
I assume you're vert lighting this. Either way, I'd push the contrast more overall, try to define the light source(s) a bit more to add some interest. I'd also maybe work on defining what's in those pots a little better. They look somewhat like glowing white plants, but I can't be sure. Also, if you have the budget, some white mist around the base of the falls there would be cool.
Otherwise, lookin sweet!!
You might want to de-saturate it a bit and, as amadreaus says, up the contrast.
In general, deep saturated red up against a deep saturated blue is painful to look at so, maybe make the light slightly more purple or reduce the saturation.
The eye loves contrast and I presume you want people to look at the bird statue when they enter?
If so, you want a large change in contrast between the bird and the other objects. You could try darkening the room slightly and allowing a spotlight to shine on the bird so it stands out a bit more.
My 2 cents!
I like your scene It's sort of soothing in a way, must be all the blue.
This is just a thought so feel free to ignore it, but I wonder what it would look like if you knocked out those blue panels in the ceiling and instead had beams of moonlight streaming in though the frame onto the floor at a slight angle. That would make some interesting contrast in the scene and highlight and accentuate the bird.
Or perhaps lighting the scene with the lanterns alone, Japanese lanterns always look great with lit by candle flame from within. Translucent orange/yellow glowing lanterns might go well with the blue of everything else. The the lighting in this scene would be more aligned with the props you already have in there.
Anyway I look forward to seeing more, please keep on posting.
I dont know if that makes much sense, but take as you will.

I really love how this looks, however I am inclined to agree that it looks a bit monochromatic and oversaturated... I think putting some complementary colors to work here, particularly in the lamps, firebowls and stonework, would do wonders to help make this thing really stand out.:)
