Beautiful! In fact, it looks like a much nicer place than the real place 
in Birmingham, where there's just a boring parking lot in front of the 
tower.

Excellent.

I'm looking for a clue that says "computer image", but its not easy.
Maybe the tower is too clean? ;)

I didn't see the Peugeot at first. I'm not an artist. I think I would
have spoilt any scene of mine by wanting to make it more prominent.

A very clear clue would be that the twigs in the tree are too straight?

In fact this image was like Frankenstein, all made of parts taken directly
in the directories of other images... All I had to do was to add the
#include statements in Ib's script and point at the directories. Sort of
painting-by-numbers POV-Ray. Of course if I had to count all the time spent
on working on each element...

The tree is a Japanese maple with sweet birch leaves... The sweet birch is
included in the Basic library provided with Xfrog, and the maple is in the
current 3.5 distribution.

In the first version the Peugeot was much more prominent, but then I
remembered that I had a nice girl riding a bike all posed and immediately
available :-)

About clues, what Apache said, and yes the tower could use a little
dirtying, and lots of little things don't match, but well it was put
together in a couple of hours (using only material recycled from other
images of course). Even low quality radiosity does wonders.

Thank you. And Gilles was even able to make a great image with it. 
Someting I'm lousy at.

I wanted it to look its best, so I had it cleaned before I modelled it :)

       Imagination Gilles. You can't beat it. Very nice indeed.
