on my little 24" 2K monitor it looks perfect. Not too dark and not too bright.
waiting for the continuation with impatience.

Looks fine to me too. Making it lighter would spoil the atmosphere and light balance. Specifically when he walks away from the spotlight at the door. The difference has to be distinct as it is.
On contrary, I would try to darken vegetation (specially planted bushes). I know, it's hard to get the *right* balance in iClone though.
One way to try is to render a frame in Iray and then attempt to mimic (as close as possible) that in real-time.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Smile

What about this? I tried to accomodate @4u2ges and @Charly's remarks. I had exactly the same feeling like @4u2ges about those bushes being too bright, on the other hand the first "prototypes" I made looked more night-like accurate, but were too dark on displays on normal light so I had to increase the brightness as @Charly said. Now I tried to get a better balance and to me looks quite OK - usually, the darkest screens are Apple ones, now I checked only on my iPhone and iPad, but I will see also at work on two different MacPros.

That is a lot better. Very little difference and I could only visually distinguish it by opening both versions in 2 different tabs and switch back and forth.
But bushes are lot less annoyingly bright, specially when he walks toward the back it's a lot more pleasing. Keep up with the story Smile

One more. It is unfortunate what we cannot tweak vegetation texture in iClone. Everything is way too vivid.
We can however in Iray MI scene cache just in case anyone renders Iray.

Compare with the same lights.

Manipulated cache texture to the extreme and rendering with MI scene:
