Is your new scene file available?  I would love to see that rendered
1280x1024 for wallpaper.  It looks much mroe realistic than the original.

I think the water looks much better, but in the lower left hand
corner the water level on 2 of the rocks is very dark.

I never saw the previous version but I must say I like this one :) I'll have
to grab 3.5 very soon, I think :)

I've compared the two versions closely, and I definitely prefer the old
version.

In the new version the stones look completely dry IMO, while they had that
wonderful realistic wet look in the old version. Also, the water looks fake
in the new version compared to the old. Things below the surface of the
water are much more clear in the new version (not good) and it's more
difficult to see where the surface of the water actually is.

The rocks look like someone's blistered skin, a bit too pink and 
the they seem to have much more rounded features compared
to the original.

Water, fish and rocks under water look great.

While I see some of the problems others have already mentioned (particularly the
water-line on the rocks), it still looks like an award-winning image to me :)

Thank you, now I can see the splashscreen without hitting Alt-B over
and over (because in tends to disappear in a few seconds).
I think the water should look more blueish - the current splash's
water is more blue, and I liked it that way.
Nevertheless, its a much better splash than the one of Povray 3.1
IMHO.

Jaime,

Please share the source, I've been trying to get a
realistic water with POV 3.5 and have not had
much success.

Thanks,
Harold

Well, I've started again to satisfy everyone (my self included). Now it
is more like the original, but renders on 3.5 and has some of the new
features, like variable reflection and photons. It still has the
underwater tricky fog (I've not managed to get media creating the same
effect). As the image is now 1024x768, I linked here two versions with
different quality:

  http://www.ignorancia.org/images/splash75.jpg
  http://www.ignorancia.org/images/splash95.jpg 

I will post the code after some more adjusting...

P.S.: Harold, for a sample of 3.5 water see my last post on this group
and also on p.b.s-f.
