I hope you can recognize 'the eye'.
This is an improved version of the picture that has been printed in c't, a
german computer magazine, issue 17/2002, see
http://wa.lzer.net/pov/pov.html
for a scan and translation.
I did not use radiosity for this render but Samuel Benge's lighting
technique with area lights. The most difficult thing was the
backscattering of light illuminating overhanging parts from below. I used
a shadowless light for that which does not produce very good results.
Anyway the render time for a 5120x3840 render was still more than two
weeks - not to mention what it would have taken with radiosity...
