Well, here's my take on checkered plane/reflective sphere. The checkered 
plane isn't a plane, however, and the reflective sphere is out of sight, 
but I thought it looked kinda neat anyway. Hope the file's not too big...

Really nice looking.
You should render it at a square format.

It looks very very nice! And quite original too, in my opinion.
You say it's your first post, so I'll be the first to say welcome!

Regards,
Hugo

Hiya! The image consists of three objects : The red sphere in the 
middle, a white disc with a fancy-pants normal pattern* (that somebody 
else used a short while ago so I stole it like the thief I am), and a 
large black sphere containing the disc and the red dot. The disc and the 
sphere both have reflection 1.0, and I set max_trace_level to 50. Any 
higher than that and the rendering would have taken too long. I could 
probably have gotten away with a lower value though...

Other than that, I used a touch of radiosity, default values except that 
I turned normals on, and two white lightsources.

*normal{
    average
    normal_map{
     [0.5 checker translate <0.5, 0, 0.5>]
     [0.5 checker translate <0.5, 0, 0> rotate <0,45,0> scale sqrt(2)]
    }
   }

A square rendering is probably a good idea. I'll get right to it.

Unless it turns out to be better I prefer the round version  :P

Here's the square(cubic) version. I think I like the round better, 
though. Also, I had to turn off radiosity to get this thing to render 
this year, and I discovered that it didn't really contribute to the 
scene at all...

This one is nice too, but I was more talking about rendering the round 
version with a square image (eg. 800x800), so that the edges are not 
cut. It was no artistic suggestion just a stupid technical one.   :-)

And, yes I forgot in first message, but be welcome of course,
