When you create a scene that use several objects with blured reflection that can 
reflect each other, you must be carefull.
You don't want to reflect a blured reflection from another blured reflection.
What to do?
Have each objects in double. One with only normal reflection and no_image, the 
other with the blured reflection and no_reflection.

Whenever you directly see an object, you will see the one with the blured 
reflection. Whenever you see the object in a reflection, you'll see the one with 
the normal reflection.

But, the image you linked to, don't use blured reflection. It's a radiosity 
scene. The bright parts glow by themselve using high ambient with a slightly 
bluish pigment. The floor is a plain white plane. There are NO regular light_source.
