Opinion and a Question

I just DP’d an industrial video and I wanted to know the opinion of you all on the lighting.

Also, if you look closely, there is a reflection of a sandbag in one of the glass partitions (an unfortunate oversight on my part, but that is not that noticeable in the final shot as the camera is moving).

So anyway, my question is: does anyone know how to achieve perfect empty reflections besides covering the whole other side of the room and everything in it in black?

By the way, the screengrab is straight of the camera (not color corrected).

What... no opinions?

Is there a special secret code or something that I am missing in order to get feedback? Or is the above DVX image so horrible that no one dares to comment on it? Come on guys (and gals)... it was my first time as a DP in a commercial and I really could use your constructive criticism.


P.S. You could always comment on how cute the girl is...
 
To answer your first question...no I don't know how to achieve perfect empty reflections, but to be honest with you I can't see any sandbag or anything else.

The screen grab looks great, and I'm sure it will look awesome after you CC everything.

What he said. (except I can see the sandbag. Won't be noticeable, though)
 
wha... that was a blindingly fast response... Thanks tjohara99

And thanks for your praise. I am happy about my work, but maybe a bit too critical. With your comments I now realize that the sandbag reflection is too small to notice (you really have to look for it). So I guess it's okay. The people paying for the spot also didn't notice it. Since it was my first time as a DP on a commercial I was a bit nervous since the clients wanted the blown-out window effect (On the set you could see horrible urban landscape through the windows and they didn't want that on screen but they also didn't want curtains or anything).
