Just playing and testing... And got this. It's very simple, but somehow
I like it. It has the beauty of raytracing.
  Uses just 3.1 code, no fancy features.

Indeed.  Can you describe the lighting ?
I'm wondering what the source of the *green* on the
plane under the left sphere is . . .
Nice use of focal blur . . . just the right amount.

Was puzzling over Greens "reflection" until I realized it wasn't
opaque. Brain was expecting 3 metallic balls :-/  I wish I could
figure how to remove the saturation with these, always spoils it for
me. Looks pretty tho'.

  The green glass sphere just has pov3.1's caustics.

  I think it is lighting. When lighting is good, all the rest seems to
be less important, bcos you feel the space. Anyhow, I notice the
reflection of the balls isn't blurred... is that normal with focal blur?
(I really never used it).

Agreed.  Excellent composition and a fine render.

Why bother?  I'm not interesting.
But... maybe "Ballet pour ma fille" will be.

  Yes, that's the physically correct behaviour (and which you will not get
with post-processed focal-blur).
  The balls are (approximately) at the same distance from the camera in
the reflection as viewed directly (with this camera location they are a bit
farther away in the reflection, but not so much that they get blurred visibly).
  This is what you get with real-life cameras as well.

Somehow soothes me, so I have is as my KDE background. One needs
soothing while coding ;)
