Irtc is pretty tolerable, but I am not sure if this would fit in topic. 
With the story it is mostly ok, but I still keep wondering why there is 
pov sign on the pills. Is POV-Ray the last and desperative action that 
lonely people commit?

Refer to Too Lonely posted by T. Nikias few days ago, it has this same 
pill theme, but it carries the message stronger.

I think Irtc is image contest and the consept of the image should be in 
the image. The description can give background and reveal some hidden 
messages but don't count on that to carry the message. Many people don't 
  even bother to read those decriptions.

One good rule of thumb is that never make anything perfect. In this 
picture there is pretty perfect reflection and perfectly sharp edge on 
the stone board.

I like the stone texture a lot.

I think it is what you wan't it to be. I like to use scale of 1 povunit 
to 1 meter, but many like 1 unit to 1 cm or less.

If someone knows any guidline for povray, i'd like to hear it =)

This picture has potential to be much more than the last, study works of 
the masters (you find many posting here) and try to figure out what 
makes the difference (and tell me because I am trying to figure it out 
myself).
