There are some improvements on the flowers
and the grass. The twinkling starts are from
Alex Kluchikov, see this thread here:

http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/thread/%3C3fc6df8c%40news.povray.org%3E/?ttop=188702&toff=400

I wrapped the twinkling star pattern around
a skydome. It has to be a spherical wrap
otherwise you get little triangles instead
of stars.

The parameter dist_exp is useful in making the
twinkling more pronounced or less pronounced.
A higher value reduces the twinkling.

Very Nice.  I can see some reflections of the lamp post lights on the front
edge of the roof.  Perhaps the reflection setting is a little high.

Very Nice.

strange thing, reflection of the righthand door in the pool looks like a 
pair of spectacles, lean head to right, reminds me of groucho somehow?

stairs reflected in pool seems overly large as well

light reflecting off eaves seems ok/sensible though

the walls along edge of path seem to be misaligned somehow, maybe 
perspective doesn't match,  maybe just my eyes

Nice image, has a nice mood in the night.

They look too comical for this image IMHO. Perhaps you'd be better of 
with some more realistic patterns.

See those postings: http://tinyurl.com/27cuu

Also, I think the waves on the pool are a bit high. Looks like someone 
jumped in the pool, got out very fast and took the image afterwards :)

Very nice image and modeling.  There seems to be a weird outline on the pool 
"fence" (see attached image).  I also thing that the colours (at least on my LCD 
monitor) are bit washed out.

Isn't that a shadow of one part of the 'fence' onto another part ?

The reflection is OK I think, about 5% of the sum of all finish
components. It may be that the ambient of the lamp sphere is too
high: 2. I'll try a lower value.

:^)  I'm pretty certain that it's the curved surface of the water which
      creates these effect.

Thanks, It's a crackle patern also. The twinkling becomes less
overdone if I chose a higher dist_exp for the spherical
wrapping. I just liked the surrealistic effect of it.

I should have someone in the pool I guess  :^)  A poser project maybe.
I want to model some statutes also somewere in the future.

There is a similar lightpole at the other end of the swimming pool as
well with an area light.
