I tried reflection_type 0 this time, reflection_max is reduced to get a
result more similar to the old one, with 1.0 the water in the distance has
a quite too strong sky-like color IMO.  

For the stones i now tried a granite pigment function, the scaling of the
stones got changed by this so the gaps are slightly larger now.  Also note
that i reused old photon data form the different geometry so the lighting
probably is quite wrong.  

render time was about 65-70 hours, but megapov crashed just some lines
before the end so this is unfinished.

You have some very subtle effects in this image, like the wetted lower 
blocks! I like it a lot, especially the texture of those stones, to me 
it looks perfect :)

I think it is looking fantastic!
Do you feel it's nearly finished?

If you were to present this as a photo to someone who didn't know you
did POV, it would pass without question.

btw 70 hours ouch, and pov crashing is the last thing you want - weird as it
happened to me the other night as well - tho that might have been the
ambient tempreture knocking my cpu off

Looking at this I swear I can hear the echoes of the water lapping against the sides
of the
tunnel. (I can't smell the seaweed though :-)
Great work.

Thanks, i'm still in work on reflection and highlights in the wet parts,
mostly reflections seem too strong in the shadow parts and not enough in
the sun...

Thank you, i still have some things in mind that could be improved, but
i'm not sure if rendering speed will allow it.

I'm not sure what's the reason, checking for a reproducible crash is quite
impossible with that rendering times.  I already had similar crashes
before, but not with this scene.  BTW, the computer was running for more
than a week without reboot at that time so it's quite possible that it was
just fed up...

Not sure about that, the water structure for example seems quite too
regular to me.
