The first version was beautiful, and so is this one. :-)

You know you've been raytracing too long when you hire 4 guys named
Vince to help you "borrow" a Cray Supercomputer.

Just to be clear, it's not *me* you married. ;-)

Excellent work! I love your dualistic concept. It much appeals to my own 
perceptions. Your care for even the least detail is really amazing. This is 
going to be a very interesting and beautiful series.

Maybe PoserPhysics may help here? I have not yet experimented enough with it 
to know for sure, but it seems to have possibilities in that direction...

That reminds me of my Cathy series, where I introduced her little brother...

This tree was completely replaced.  Honestly, it was too small for the pot, 
which violates certain principles of bonsai.  It may reappear in another 
scene, however, as there are some things about that tree that I really 
liked.

Thanks!  Bonsai is, of itself, very dualistic.  The ideal bonsai would 
arguably look like a miniature of a full size tree, so I attempted to 
achieve that as well, while still keeping certain other cues, like the 
larger-than-normal leaves.

Bonsai purists may hate me for this picture, however, as the introduction of 
miniatures into a bonsai is most often frowned upon.  Of course, "live" 
miniature people might be ok, if the Japanese had some handy.  ;-)

Thanks for refreshing (F5) my memory. Why did you change the texture of the
table? I liked the wood that the legs were made from. 
The new tree is more pleasing to the eye. Out of curiosity I differenced the two
images in psp. I liked the result.

Regards
	Stephen
