I like the figure pose, and the water looks great!
Could've needed som AA though..

*sigh* I remember my first IRTC image back in 1999:
RENDER TIME:  22m 9s
HARDWARE USED: Pentium 133, 32MB ram
Man did that feel long!

My second (and latest) IRTC entry (2002):
RENDER TIME: 1d 4h 58m 11s
HARDWARE USED: Pentium II 450mhz 256ram
And that isn't even considered a long rendering time! Did I hear weeks?
months?

Enough babbeling.. Welcome to the real world! =)
