Wow!  This looks great!  A few thousand times better then the last one, 
I must say :)

Please please please post the source!

  This is a picture of a 5x4 grid of tinted mirrored spheres within a 
  non-tinted mirrored sphere(cool reflection warping happens). This 
picture
  features a rainbow spectrum of full intensity primary colors and 
thousands
  of reflections and warped reflections.

  This picture is not as bright and psychedlic as the last one was.
  Ive tweaked the colors of a few spheres to give the picture a more 
neutral balance
  of colors. I thought the last picture was too red / orange looking. I 
made this one look
  a little more blue and less red. I deleted one of the two light 
sources which makes
  the picture less bright also.. I like darker pictures for 
backgrounds... However
  there are still MANY rainbow color effects and the neat 
warping/bending of the
  reflections... The spheres are also very distinct in this picture too. 
I used a different
  viewing perspective too.

  Some things to notice in the picture...
  There are "chains" of reflected spheres up and down the sides of all 
the "actual"  spheres....
  Warping of sphere reflections.

  This picture is like the fractal geometries of mathmatics. The more 
you increase the resolution
  or zoom the camera into a particular section the more neat patterns of 
reflections you see...
  I posted the source in povray.binaries.images get it there. I found 
this out when I traced
  this picture at 4096x3072 which resulted in a 37megabyte picture.  It 
took only 3 hours
  at 4092x3072 res on my amdk6-3 450.

  This image was modeled in moray 3.1

This is damn nice, this is exactly the kind of image that inspired me to 
try raytracing a few years ago - there were a lot of very similar ones 
featuring in amiga pd demo's at the time (all tho they almost all used 
the traditional checker plane :)

i tried doing my own, in moray, with spheres in a torus, but the effect 
was a little disapointing (hence its not posted here)...

BTW - how about putting your real email in, instead of the nospam one, 
these NG's dont have the same spam magnet effect as usenet..
