I have to say those are some of the more stylized and beautiful povray renders I
ever saw.  Not quite like paintings, more like paper collage.  Truly beautiful.

I remember you because of this funky nick "Joost".  How funky is that that it is
actually your real name? :D

Thomas de Groot also have this groovy oooo intonation.... :D

about the pictures:  the sun doesn't show up in the reflection in Ponte Vechio,
but I like the symetry. :)

You could just feed that into Gimp's new image dialog box and set the unit to
millimeters.

Hope it turns out ok with Gimp, since so many photoshop slaves love to brag
about how friggin unsuited it is for print since it lacks CMYK... I'd at least
try a few test prints in much lower paper size just to be sure...
