When I first rendered this pen it was vertical and the size seemed perfect
I think the perspective had a lot to do with the "stumpiness" the pens are
currently suffering from.

I tried the pens initially with caustics but was not very impressed. I think
the angle of the light source might not have been favourable.

I am currently in the middle of a render (800 x 600) with focal blur and an
area light that is 8 x 8 (64 lights might be a bit much :) ) So far it has
taken
6 hours to do 43%. I will post the results as soon as they are done.

Thanks for the comments.

Dave.
