  How do you expect photons to reflect from these surfaces when they have
no reflection?
  Photons only work for reflecting and refracting objects.

  (Another mistake: Since you have "collect off", which means that no
photons are stored on the surface of this object, how do you expect it
to receive light reflected from other surfaces?)
