The picture looks fairly interesting, but that does not really have much
to do with radiosity in fact.  As you mentioned the concept of reflections
in raytracing is limited to one direction so you might want to try photons
too.

I think some time ago someone suggested in p.g. that blurred reflection
and photons combined would be sufficient to generate realistic surfaces,
but the necessary amount of computations would be enormous.
