Beautiful. :-)

However, because you've made the ground plane a highly reflective 
surface, we can't see any shadows cast onto it. It does look great, but 
if the goal is to see how the lighting looks, I would try a matte surface.

You can go back after you're done playing with the light, of course!

You know you've been raytracing too long when you can recite your high 
school Trig book from memory.
