Huh, it's sharp?  :o)  Well.. perhaps.. I haven't thought about it, except
that sharp reflections in computer renderings tend to look unnatural.. But
thinking about it, this may also be due to a compressed range of contrast.
That's why we have the reflection_exponent keyword in newer versions of
POV-Ray (although it's still not the real solution).
