I too really like the dark glass version. I think it will look subtler in
the context of the entire image.

I really like the image!
The glass vase seems a bit thin to me. The top edge looks almost razor
sharp.

I am looking into that already. Problem is, that two meshes
are joint there, but I'll see what I can do. Perhaps just place
a torus, or some blobs on the vertices? I don't know if
merge will work correctly with the mesh...
But thanks for pointing that out!

If you say so.
I think this looks nice but I can't help but think that not having stair
stepping on the shoots would help. But the larger resolution allows some of
the detail that you worked so hard on show up.
There is still the unfortunate areas of the glass that looks like
coincident surfaces or something.

You need area lights boy.

I agree with Bill here, and think that the glass problem may also go away
with some AA.

To you both:
Yeah, some AA would definetely look good.
Ther are no coincident surfaces, inside the vase,
the rays is refracted and reflected so often, that
even a setting of 256 max_trace_level doesn't
help, because the ray probably just travels long
enough inside the vase to get darkened by fade_power...
But it isn't so obvious with some focal blur, looks more
like some curious refraction.
But all you guys have to wait for a AA version, it takes
SOOO much longer, and I cannot afford doing intensive
traces before I'm actually on a version where I can say
finished...

Not really. When using focal-blur, the sharp
edges of the shadows aren't visible. And since
its a studio-setting, too much area-light would
destroy the look.

Try lower adc_bailout (if you haven't already)
