What value for max_trace_level did you use?

    Overall, Stefan, this is a *nice* image! BUT, I do find it confusing 
because there is a lot to see and questions come with it. This is a VERY 
deceptive image. For instance, looking at the far right blue 'thing' - I 
thought it was a plate with a mouldy lemon on it!! :o)  BUT, it turns out to 
be a kind of oval-shaped thing with a hole through it. ;)

  I love the green planter - someone should make them out of glass, they'd 
make a tidy profit I would think... Good freeform modelling there.

 Ok, the questions:

  1) What's the frazzly-dazzly thing to the far right? (Can't work that one 
out...)

  2) What does the text/logo say underneath the water-line? (Underneath the 
right blue thing...)

Interesting image!  I'm not sure what it is either, but when my wife saw it,
she called it Flea Atlantis!  In any case, nice modeling and creativity.

Erm... 10. I could not spot any dark spots in objects or their reflections,
so I thought it was sufficient?

Thanks! I was bored and at a loss for inspiration, that's why it looks a bit
crowded and maybe even chaotic.

Ah the joys of raytracing. I had no idea what it was going to look like when
I slapped it in there... a plate with a mouldy lemon... interesting
perspective.

What's a planter? Sorry, but I'm not British / American... guess we call
(whatever it is) something else here.

Its an L-system generated... erm... mess of cylinders. Laurens Lapre's
L-System program (an OLD procedural type image generation app) had this
object in and I thought it looked mildly interesting. I had nothing else I
could think of to put in that empty spot in the scene, so there it is.

Text...? The left blue thing? I didn't place anything next to the right blue
thing. The left one has a stylised image of an eye and some text "the eyes
have it" or somesuch. It comes from a font called 5-goth, letter A.

Thanks for the comments!

Hahaha! The title has been set!. Flea Atlantis it is.

Entriguing image to say te least! Especially as a collection of transparant 
objects in subdued tones. Very well done. Stuff that dreams are made of....
I see a lot of black spots though, especially at the left and front, so 
max_trace should probably be increased.

Thanks...

Ye gods! You seem to be right. I didn't spot that.

Thanks for taking a peek...
