Hi everyone! I'm a little new to the rendering world and I could really use some professional criticism.
I've seen a lot of great work being posted and I would just like some advice on this image.
One of the big problems I had is that even with 16000 samples I still had quite a few fireflies.

I've attached the image itself as well as the settings I used for PMC.
Please tell me if I did something wrong that may have killed this renderings efficiency.

It took about 34 hours to render...... and I'm using GeForce GT 630M

Thanks for any help. And all criticism is welcome. Fire away! :D

People far more qualified than I can give better advice, however I'd add some caustic_blur (maybe 0.3-0.5), set hot_pixel (imager settings) to 0, and maybe consider using a portal for the window (see the Shared Resources forum for a few tutorials on doing this).

Thanks guys. I found a lot of useful things on those forums which I had not originally seen.
I'm having a lot of trouble lighting my interior scene with only sunlight...
I'm not exactly sure what I'm missing. I don't want to resort to setting the exposure really high but is that what I have to do?

I think you should use some invisible light like the advice
because in real interior photography it need many flash light to light up some interior space
