How about shooting a few photons at this?

Water isn't blue. Water is clear. Water looks better if it reflects its
environment. Water is wet, and has a specific index of refraction (1.33 at
20 degrees C.). Water does not sit in containers in a flat manner.
  With all of that said, my water sux. :)
  I think the SuperPatch will make the best water, currently. I haven't had
good success with it yet, but I'm still convinced. I can't wait to see the
photon patch added to the super patch and all added to Pov 3.5.
  I also can't wait until I have the patience to produce stunning water! :)

Actually, I thought it just had an oil slick...
It could be renamed: Valdez Oil Burner thingy.

O.K. I'll stop...no more jokes.

I agree with both of you, but I can't say I have one at hand. This is a simple
"workbench" for me, and I use this (with a smaller Arealight) to model most of
items. 

And, I for one belive that most textures must be "tweaked" to fit in a scene...

I know :-)

Not really, depends.

I know, it does. :-)

How do I make pov water wet?
material{
  feel{ 
    liquid 1 //liquid takes a exponent. at 3 you'll have syrup.
    headache 0 //This removes all the headache from making textures
  }
}

Yep, this does :-)

Nope, but I haven't yet managed to make it "cling" to the borders of the
bowl....

Hey, look at mine then.

Well, perhaps I'll look into it (through a lens of.... water)

ditto.

With reflective images I always use a sphere with a lot of turbulence and
contrast and a plane in the background. It can also help to throw in some extra
bright light.

Hmm... That would be something... but I've looked at the original a bit more
now, and I reakky can't see that effect here... Don't know why...
