Not sure what may cause this. I am not using exotic gamma settings (1.0) 
nor colours (mostly srgb).

And just an image_map and normal_map :-)

The metallic texture is by Explo Eristotle (many years ago) and one of 
the best rusty textures I know of. I was waiting for a comment about the 
bars ;-) Fact is that the railing is built in Silo using instances, so 
they look identical. Your comment is to the point and I should do 
something about it.

That part definitely needs some more work.

Right. More to do... Not too sure about the additions. I intentionally 
left them out.

We have to keep up the tradition of our POV-Ray fathers, haven't we? ;-) 
But seriously, I certainly would like to see more of these fruits on the 
POV-Ray market, like in the old days.
