The rendering is very good, I agree - I really like the subject matter and the
composition of the image - it grabs the attention right away.

I had that stone head bouncing around in my mind for - probably decades - and
couldn't figure out what it was that I saw it in.  Then one day I was over a
friend's house, and he had Zardoz playing on his TV!

"What is _this_?!" I asked.
"Zardoz." - with a look and tone suggesting "Everybody knows Zardoz.  Of course
it's Zardoz - what else would it be?"

There's a few more movies or tv shows like that, that I've since tracked down
and identified, but there are still a few more kicking around, that I can't
recall where I saw them or when.

Might be a good topic for pr-off-topic.  "Identify this fuzzily recalled and
ill-described memory fragment of a thing I saw when I was a kid."
That will surely be a future raytracing competition topic...  :D
