The lighting looks nice but not very lego-like(tm)
How about a second version with bright sky, radiosity, some reflection ?
Ok, you should then leave out the 42 light sources to get it rendered within one
week ;-)

With this lighting I am reminded of a quake map. Very cool.

This image makes me want to construct with
Lego again !
But isn't there a tiny detail missing ?
The word "Lego" on every little "cylinder".
Nice idea to use a wide angled camera here.
This combined with the dim light spots
shows the Lego bricks(?) in a way that I
have never seen them before.

Wouldn't it get washed out?

That was the first version :) (minus radiosity)

I've tried it, it's not worth the increase in aa, render time or
memory...
Besides, not all the Lego pieces are copyrighted, so if I make something
out of noncopyrighted pieces I'm free from the long arm of Lego. ;)

There were two reasons I wanted to use ultra_wide_angle; one because I
wanted to place the camera inside the castle but still show it off, and
two because increased angle exaggerates perspective and puts you to
scale with the castle more.

Looked pretty good to me.
The pure blacks stay black, and the brighter areas don't change a whole
lot, so it really just serves to bring out the detail in the shadows.

No, black stays black, and white stays white, only the values in between
are different. Sometimes lighter images created on PC's appear washed
out, but this one looks good.
