Thank you!

I enjoy shadows...  perhaps too much.  I like the idea that somehow there 
are details hidden just beyond the limits of perception.  And, well, 
sometimes I purposely make details AT the limits of perception, perhaps as a 
reward to anyone who cares to stare long enough.  :-)

Thank you!  I'm extremely happy with the pot and the stand, but getting 
decent tree bark on a TomTree/POV-Tree, is quite a challenge.  I'm still not 
completely satisfied, but I'll let this stand for now.  Jaime's bonsai are 
far superior in that regard.

"Rego"?  Is that a word?

More than any other scene I've created, this pleases me.  :-)  It's perhaps 
not so much from a technical perspective, but this time, I really like the 
subject, and the fact that I've included "humans".  The use of people, if 
done well, certainly creates a more dynamic and emotional setting.  Keeping 
them small helps to keep the overall picture more photorealistic, but that's 
just a nifty side-effect.

Ego.

Splendid! I'm looking forward to what comes next.

There is a neighbourhood in Queens called Rego Park
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rego_Park,_Queens

I was watching my daughter play hockey Sunday morning shoulder to 
shoulder with a surgeon, and his wife. (His name is Jim too, and btw, 
originates from your neck of the woods, near Detroit.) She was joking (I 
hope) with him  that he should buy advertizing on the ice rink 'boards' 
(you know, the curtain of boards that surround the ice surface) and say 
something like, "Jim ********: Real Good Surgeon"  Thinking of the Wiki 
article, I chipped in, "Rego Surgeon"

So I thought I would try my newly recoined word* on you.

*An Acronym search says it means 'Reinvent Government', how boring.

I thought it was a typo for the "ergo" interjection...

Sure is - though usually hyphenated (ie, "Re-go").

It means "To return, go back."

Jeez, hope I didn't insult my surgeon friend.

I was worried that it was "Ego!"  LOL!
