Truly splendid! Not to be dismissive of the scene's technical merits, which are
also noteworthy, I would like to take a few moments to praise the aesthetic,
compositional and story-telling aspects of the image, which IMHO, set it apart
from and above a number of other images which are also technically impressive.

I don't know whether you've had formal education in composition or were simply
born with "the gift", but it is *SO* nice to see the potential of ray tracing
realized in images wherein the various "objects" are arranged and detailed to
set a mood and tell a story.  I would never name names or criticize an
individual image that someone has worked hard on in this manner, BUT - I've
lost track of the number of times I have had a bifurcated reaction to an image:
Technically, "Wow!" - and to everything else, "Why?" Images like this one really
help to demonstrate that POV-Ray provides a means for real creative expression,
not merely simulating various optical conditions. Bravo!

Best Regrds,
Mike C.
