Once in a while, I like to revisit an older scene and remodel it to 
current standards and my changing insights and skills. I did this lately 
with my entry to the TC-RTC back in 2008: "N". I still want to change 
some elements but the comparison over ten years of using POV-Ray are 
notable. Left, is the entry of 2008; right, the new version.

Much better to my eyes.
Although I think you cheated a bit by changing the camera angle. 
Although that could come under "changing insights and skills".

The latest is true as I now used DrJohn's "falling building syndrome" 
macro here, and de-rotated the camera. However, my ultimate objective 
was not to recreate the scene exactly. Evolution was allowed.

Or do you mean intelligent re-design. ;-)
No matter what a great improvement.

Obviously, I forgot to mention:

- in 2008, the scene was rendered with MegaPOV version 1.21
- in 2018, the scene was rendered with UberPOV version 
1.37.1.1-alpha.8871946.msvc14.win64

Yeah... the figures were never intended as sculptures but as children 
playing. :-/

It is an old memory from my own childhood in fact.

Well done Thomas,

but by changing the camera point of view, most of the nice birds disappeared...
What I want to know is how you did your grass and plants - really nice.
