Thanks to Marc-Hendrik, after seeing his rendering, I too am trying a
candle lit scene.
Figured I'd shamelessly plug the upcoming version of POV-Ray while I was
at it, putting it as a book(?) on the table.  Not really a book, just
thinking about it.  Anyway, there are 3 glass primitives which use both
photons and color dispersion.  The lights (Moon and candles) have color
maps from a macro taken out of Prism.inc, one of the demo files, and
color-changed a little to suit the lights.
I had used the soft glow post process on this and neglected to switch
from the Png format I always output to, so no soft glow  :-(
Hope you all like it anyhow.  If not I'll be rendering it some more,
just give me a chance  :-)

P.S. to Marc-Hendrik.  I thought of an idea for that dusty look.  Maybe
layer on a semi-transparent gradient y color map texture which would
appear to have dust on the uppermost parts of objects.
