I'd posted here before reading that my first post was supposed to be my 
take of a reflective sphere on a checkered background. Now I see the 
error of my ways, I've done the longest render of my POV-Life (15h 09m 
13s) in order to bring you my image.

Unfortunately I made a spelling mistake (yeah, right!) and thought I was 
supposed to do a REFRACTIVE sphere. So I whacked a whole bunch of 
spheres together, called it a blob, got some texturing working, added 
focal blur, tried my hand at media (still don't really get it), designed 
a better checkered plane and give you this image.

[If you've just started POV-Ray and you're looking to see what other 
first posts look like, this isn't mine. I've been playing for a few 
weeks now ... look for my Monopoly Car, that's my real first post]

Please let me know what you think. I'm almost happy with everything here.
