It's pretty cool, the perspective is great and the contrast in the size of
the object at different areas is good.

Because your mesh has relatively few polygons, it is suffering pretty badly
from a known POV-Ray bug which is causing those black spots around the
edges. If you don't have any shadowless lights in your scene, you can work
around this bug by adding "double_illuminate" to the end of the mesh object.

You may also want to increase the polygon count in order to smooth out the
edges and the shadow transitions along the surface.

Oh, of course! A truchet tiling! What's that? ;)

If you're new, go through the tutorials in the help files. It's a good way
to learn how to make scenes from scratch and how to make your own textures.
