Woooaaahhh! Kari, fair play, that is good!! To someone with not much
knowledge of this, I find that this looks very real! Brilliant!!
   You have given me a different insight into this world of POV! Thanks!

          Well done!    ~Steve~  :o)

This looks so real.  But the bolt looks ever so slightly bent, the
head doesn't seem to be paralel to the nut, maybe the camera angle
needs tweaking just a touch.

This is astoundingly realistic...I can't find any flaws, at least with 
the nut and bolt.
How did you do the threads? An isosurface?

The text is just reflection 0.8 for comparison.

You have captured the zinc plating colors perfectly. A rare talent.

What I'm wondering is what is behind the camera (being reflected).  That is
an element that is usually lacking in rendered images.  Reflection is
pointless if there's nothing to reflect, but yours looks outstanding.  Great
job.

Very nice indeed. I like the manufacturing flaws on the nut... All the
little details really trick the eye. Too bad I'm color-blind or I'd probably
have something nice to say about that, too. :)

Hmm with looks too good! I don't mean to insult you or anything but there are
some off things about the edges that make me wonder, they seem all together
too sharp and crisp. Also the Engineer label looks very much like it was done
in Photoshop. If you could post the code for this I would retract all my
skepticism's, and if this really is POV then GREAT WORK! Again I don't mean to
hurt your feelings, just that we have seen some other stuff in here once in a
while.

Ouch! I mean, accusing him of cheating is one thing (maybe considered a
compliment), but PhotoShop? That's got to sting! :)

Doubting Thomas should know, there exists no where in this world 'as
perfect' a bolt. ;)

I was thinking the same thing, Nathan. I can't tell you how many times I've

This is great stuff you have here, Kari. I hope to see more from you.

isn't the bolt what's reflecting on the words (i.e. the words are
slightly below the nut/bolt assembly)?  excellent texture by the way,
one i'm sure we'd all like to know the details of.  hint, hint:)

Prohosting likes to display their ad before letting you to
get the file. Works fine in IE3 and NS4.6.

Must be the bumps interacting with the shape of the object and the light
