:-) That is media in the posted image. Somehow the media is messing with
the reflections and increasing the brightness, I don't understand enough
about how POV works to offer an explanation.

In current experiments I'm having better success using simple 'fake'
fog (and faster render times), though it seems to be more difficult to get
interesting textures/turbulence in the mist layer this way.

Cheers
