I like all these crystal images, but my favorite thus far is this clear 
quartz one casting rainbows of light on the surrounding rock.

In my last two apartments I've hung glass prisms in windows catching 
morning sunlight. Having brilliant spreads of color show up on the walls 
around me as I drink my first coffee of the day always greatly brightens 
my mood.

(And that deadly caffeine - being discussed in povray-off-topic - saves 
my mood on the cloudy days ;-) )

   Yes, photons+dispersion gives very nice results... but it's very slow,
specially if you add focal blur into the mix. Of course I will use them
on the final render of the cave, but I'm guessing a render time of more
than 12h...

   That's a very nice idea, if you have a window that catches morning
sunlight. Mine doesn't until 10 AM or so, but at least I've direct
sunlight until sunset.

   Ah... fortunately I don't read p.off-topic, so I can happily continue
to drink lots of coffee every day (and not only early on the morning).

Your subject says "Cave". Perhaps you should google what a cave looks 
like.  Unless Spanish caves don't have openings.

Maybe your mommy can upgrade your Commodore 64 for your birthday.

   Oh, I forgot to write "constructive" between "need" and
"criticism".... my fault. ;)

Made my day. Still chuckling.

I do think I prefer the first one though.

Simon.

I like the first one for the rainbow refractions displayed on the rocks. 
  That gets lost on the mossy versions.

But, I don't know, I have a thing for purple and pink (maybe too much 
estrogen).  And I want to steal those mushrooms for my own use, so I 
have to vote for the third one.

   No, it's not lost... just not present.

   I'm sorry to tell you these are not "Fly Agaric", but a very poisonous
unknown variety which are visually similar by coincidence. :)

I don't want to eat them ... those days are long gone.
Interestingly though, when I saw your first crystal I wondered what it 
tasted like. (Is it salty? That looks salty.)

Hmm, table salt (sodium chloride) grows in cubic crystals and its hard to get
them big.
But I know what you mean...
