This is my first "serious" scene. It's the One Ring on a 
intended-to-be-old-and-weathered wooden table. I've rendered four versions:

radiosity + focal blur        radiosity

focal blur                    vanilla

The radiosity versions are a bit more reddish, but I don't think the effect 
is worth the trouble. The focal blur, on the other hand, adds a bit of 
realism, but obscures the table's detail. Any advice?

Things I like:
- The Ring model
- The texture of the table

Things I don't like (so much):
- The lighting
- The finishes don't look quite right
