Neat.

Was that green background added in afterwards, and if so, what background colour did you shoot on?

I used a light blue poster board, but didn't like the result so I did a quick magic wand selection of the background in PhotoShop, created a new layer with it, and changed the hue to provide a little more contrast.

Other changes I made:
1) I eliminated a gap between two 8x16 plates I used as a base, as it was distracting (I didn't have a 16x16 to use). It was just a quick fix. You can see some shop remnants if you zoom in.
2) Changed the left drawer on dentists desk from light bley to dark bley, giving contrast between it and the lamp, so the lamp details are more easily distinguished...
3) I increased the light level in the shadows, so the assistant's legs were more easily visible, and drill highlights popped a bit more, bringing some attention to it.

It's not more appealing, just more inline with how I always picture follow-ups going.
