a jpg would have worked just as well as a zipped bmp - or a gif even

very nice all the same - maybe add a coloured light?

Yeah my first choice is always a jpg... but in this case a zipped bmp was a
little more in size with without any loss in quality!

beautiful work... What are faked caustics...?

(Just out of curiousity, did you try a grayscale jpeg or 8-bit png?)

I like it, it has a certain raytracing spirit to it.

It was neither.... I rendered it in full color........ and with the white
light, the silver baseplane and the crystallic look of the bottle it came
out greyscale!

If you read the manual with the POVRAY 3.1e its is there in the
INTERIOR.... the manual can explain it better than I can!

The .zip file was 68 kB. Sure that isn't really big. But I just saved
the 
bmp file with standard settings (75% quality, no smoothing) from xv, and 
the jpg was only 7.8 kB! That's quite a lot smaller, and I can't see any 
difference between the bmp and the jpg.

I don't know what you did, of course; but I often see jpgs which have
been
created with a quality setting close to 100%. This makes the image a lot 
larger but adds very little in quality for most images.

And another thing-many readers can display GIF, JPEG, or PNG images by 
themselves, but I had to open a separate program, extract the file, and 
open yet another program to view the file. It is much easier to just 
scroll down. :-)

I usually use around 60-70% quality, I adjust it to fit the image. I 
have gone down to 45%, but only once. But the software being used to 
compress the file does matter.
And I only use JPEG for web images and newsgroup posts, I prefer to use 
PNG, PICT, or TGA. I really dislike those compression artifacts.
