Very nice,

how did you model the background and the colloseum-like mirrored 
structure in your tea-pot?

The background can only be modeled with xfrog and with some months work 
to model all the differences between the plants if one didn't use a 
photography simply.

I think your image is a simple modeled teapot between two photographies.

Really a nice image, but not really created with POV, IMO.

Best regards
Michael

The background is not modelled, it's an HDR light probe.

He didn't - it's an HDRI light source.  I have the same one.
Not sure what the URL for that specific one is, but it's a pretty standard way
to instantly add a ton of richness to an image or object even if the backround
or its reflections can't be clearly seen.

A similar site for HDR sources:

It is, but it's inside a spherical image which provides the scene lighting and
the richness of the varied light sources and reflections.

Well, it is, even though the light source wasn't created from scratch.
What is "created in POV-Ray" can be debated endlessly.

I use code snippets, include files, image_maps, formulas, and all other manner
of pre-existing tools to shove the image out the other end of the work-flow,
before I lose the time/energy/opportunity.  There's also the metric ton of
under-the-hood stuff that's already encoded into POV-Ray that I don't write from
scratch.
I've encountered people who have made the claim that "I didn't do xyz "myself"
since the procedural texture was already programmed into POV-Ray...

I suppose I could do it in ShaderToy, and then I'd write the camera, the light
source, the shadowing, texturing, etc all myself.....

It's still a nice teapot and pleasing image.
Nice work, Jim.

Always fascinating to discover in what kind of environments teapots 
appear... ;-)

Well done sir.

artistic term
