Looks a lot better now with the people in the foreground, bridge and large
cylinder/tank added. I think where the pipes go into the pool needs some kind of
change as it looks like they just disappear, either a hole slightly larger than
the cylinder or some kind of surround where they enter it would probably look
better.

It is a big good job you have made here, I just have one critic 
concerning the granite which seems ( but is is a personal opinion) too 
smooth.
I like the people and the cat - can we have a close-up of the cat?

Thanks. Indeed, I forgot about the pipes :-( I wanted to make the hole 
slightly larger as you suggest and forgot about it.

Thanks indeed. The stone texture is one of those things I want to change 
in the (near?) future.

The cat is Poser (of course). Like some Poser figures, it is not really 
good at close up and it misses - in particular - a good normal map, and 
its eyeball map is somewhat weird. Other figures which are more than 
basic are Kate2 and Ben2 (the children here) which have hardly been 
developed further than their Poser 6 versions. Not only are the skin 
maps basic, also their geometry shows a number of severe defects. A 
shame for such a program imho.

In the previous image, the pupils are dilated as the light was rather 
poor; If I contract the pupils, this is the result.

For sure, the pupils are too rounded for a cat, and it seems hungry.
However it is good enough for some scenes where it is not close to the 
camera. Like you made.

Don't you just love it when people point out things like that ;-)

She is going to be a force to reckon with. If she makes it to 
adolescence. ;-)

A few comments about pipework.
Pipes that width would be supported by a yoke or framework in places 
along it length. You never  rest a flange on a wall or both could be 
damaged. And as for it disappearing into a wall without a gap. That is 
okay as they are sometimes packed with flame damping material (cement 
like material).

Great atmosphere Thomas.

I solemnly promise to kick the next angle, I see.

Of course I do! One tends to get blind to the most obvious things when 
poving to long on a scene ;-)

Yes, and somehow, I know she will make it. She is the kind of person 
that survives (an thrives) in difficult situations like the world she 
has to cope with: one of the possible/likely scenarios deriving from our 
own.

I was afraid somebody would come up with that as I secretly also had 
considered the problem and discarded it for the time being out of pure 
laziness ;-)

Thanks Stephen.
