Hey. You just beat me in the weekly challenge, so I don't know if I should give you advice, but I noticed a few things about your image. Even though you have hard shadows, the pieces look a little like they're floating. When light bounces around between the lego and the floor, some of the lego color should "bleed" onto the floor from the blocks. It will look like a soft shadow of color around the block. Also, since legos are plastic, usually they have a sharp white highlight along some of the corners.
Yeah I guess I didn't think of that, it's supposed to be worn out grey carpet though so there wouldnt be too much bleed and my LEGOs corners arent ever white unless the block is, but when the light reflects directly off it does look whitish if the LEGO is new enough.
