My very first was a gelatinous-looking torus with blue sphere in the center,
set against a ugly brownish-orangish-yellowish highly turbulent bozo
patterned plane; which I believe was copied from another file by Dan Farmer
or one of those other pioneering POVers' renderings I had seen. I don't
remember now. It took me a while to try the reflective sphere over checkered
plane.

As to this rendering... it seems fairly washed out to me. That might have
been the intention, but were it me doing it radiosity brightness could be
less or lower diffuse. It's a nice scene anyway, especially for a "1st".
