POV folks:

Here is the latest iteration on my limes still life.  I have incorporated
the suggestions that I got from the last couple of postings into this one.
The limes are a better color and shape, although the shape is not perfect.
I toned down the vivid red in the ceramic pot.  I think I'm making some
progress ...

Yummy!

That new texture for the lime is much better.  If you pardon the nitpick, the 
specular spot looks square - meaning the light is coming from a window - IMHO, I 
think the surroundings shouldn't be completely black.

Great.  Now just a "knob" on each end and some more "normal" to the skin.

Much improved. To be honest, I just don't get how you were having so much
trouble with the limes when the rest of the textures looked so nice.

I'm seeing stage spotlight rather than "Renaissance glow", however. Maybe my
monitor is too dark. Nothing wrong with the spotlight look anyway. Just
commenting on your earlier comment regarding glow.

To me, the limes do not seem to be touching the bottom of the bowl. If you
"trace" the level of the surface in this picture, and assume that the
thickness of the bottom of the bowl is about the same as the thickness of
the rim, they seem to be floating.

Cheers,
Peter

I actually just did a test render of the limes and the glass inner bowl and
the limes are actually touching the interior base.  Must be a combo of the
camera angle and the outer bowl that makes it look like that ...

Thanks for the comments, guys.  I guess I still have some work to do with
the total illumination of the scene.  My home monitor is just about to give
out, so I'm not sure that the brightness and contrast levels are exactly how
you see them on well-calibrated screens.

Not really following this thread closely... but this latest post looks 
really very realistic. Nice work.

This is looking really good.  For the composition of the piece I'm wondering
if you've cropped it to close at the top?

If there was a bit more 'empty space' above the limes, it might give a more
natural feel to the picture. Something to try out maybe.
