This is something i have been working on these days, things turned out to
be very slow again...

The first picture is an early version without photons, but it looks quite
good IMO.  It also took 'only' 16 hours.

The second one was the slowest, 4 hours for the photons (although they are
not much visible), 36 hours in total.  

The third one is somehow a combination of the first two, quality settings
for both photons and radiosity were quite low, therefore the upper part
looks quite bad.  It took 24 hours to render.

What's still missing is different coloring of the stones near and under
water.  The versions with photons only have reflective photons, turning
refraction on leads to a visible line here water changes from with to
without photons.

Comments and suggestions welcome as always.
