Two methods:
a) By rendering with the +C command line option and carrying the source
and image files to the second machine.
b) By rendering with the +SR and +ER command line options to render only
a portion of the image at a time and stitching the results together in
an image manipulation program later. This can also be used to render on
multiple nachines simultaneously.

Here are a couple of graphs showing how the render progressed, just
in case anyone's interested...
One is a graph of lines left to render. The other is lines per day.
It should be obvious which is which :-)

Just out of interest, how did you crop it and/or scale it to fit
a landscape desktop? And by that I mean which area of the portrait
shaped original did you end up with?
Cheers,

As others have said, it's really nice. But, if I have to find something
to critique, it's the culms of the tulips. They don't look totally
natural to me. Looks too much just like cylinder with bumps, and not
natural one.
But I guess you left is as it is just to convince us that your pic is
not photo :-).

I think your sea sunset was one of the most photo-realistic ray-traced
pictures I have ever seen. Really nice. Became by new screen wallpaper.

Oh My Gods! That has to be one of the most photorealistic images I've ever
seen! My mother couldn't tell it wasn't a plain photograph. Well worth the
time, IMO.

A beautiful image, and well worth the wait. I'll be along
to look at the code some time soon, thanks for sharing.

Wow! I feel like I am in Holland. The focal blur is good. I have seen
movies and TV shows that have compositions of different footage. These
really need focal blur to look more real. The tulips growing outside
here will be blooming in a lot less time than it took to render that
picture...
