I think you're pretty much there :) A couple of observations re. your chosen composition. Now, the hero prop is buried all the way over in the furthest corner of your set - which seems peculiar to me. You've got an empty floor space to the left of the font, so why not consider creating a kind of stone dais there and having that as the place for the helmet; you might even consider lighting it from above for extra majesty? Consider just putting it on the same sized circular plinth you've got at the base of the scarab columns. You might have to shift your camera view a bit. To be honest, I don't think you really need that bench in there; this is a place of religiosity and worship, and somehow that one stick of furniture seems a bit mundane in this situation. You don't appear to have any light-sources though, Danny... I can certainly imagine how the deep orange of firelight would accent all those insect-y greens beautifully; something as rich as this perhaps? Just feast your eyes on the way these scenes use colour - and lighting 'as' colour!
