To get a more realistic look (if that's what you're going for) I'd move the darker strips in the two left columns on the left of the pane, just like you did on the two right hand columns. alternately you could change the dark strips on the two right hand columns. does that make sense?
I love them all, but especially the bay window. I've never seen a bay window before.
I think you have the lights in the correct place: at the bottom. That is where the sun is shining. But the middle "post" would not be showing at all. You would not see both sides of that post. You wouldn't even see one side. That is a dilemma, but if you do it the way you did, we understand.
