Water looks nice. Some antialiasing would probably do wonders for the
stone, though.

I like the image directly before this so uncluttered... But this is good
all the same... I think a shooting star behind the pillars would be
nice... The marble could stand to be more smooth and shiny like the
water...?

How did you make the spiral column

Looks pretty cool, the water looks great.  It might help if you toned down
the ambient light.  A little less ambient lighting would bring out some
shadows and create some nice contrast around the pillars.

There are a few purists out there (myself being one of them) that will not use other
programs
for modeling. Even I have my exceptions, using a Poser .dxf file and a height feild
pulled
from a DEM datafile in one image.There is nothing wrong with using a modeler. That's
what
they're there for.

I would guess that he did it with the columns plugin for Moray.

Sorry, I don't have the URL, but I think it's somewhere on the Moray 
website - http://www.stmuc.com/moray

Bye for now,

No, it just shows that you can use a good tool to help recreate your
artistic ideas better than those of us, me included, who can not.

You could also do these columns with Chris Colefax's spirals include file.
