A few changes, mainly in illumination and the finish of the dice.
I tried to emphasize that the dots are carvings and not only paint. I don't
know if it is noticeable.
I applied a slight noise, again, to add a bit of realism.
Overall, I think it did improve from last version.
I'm very interested in you opinions/comments.

I'd make the corners just slightly sharper, but otherwise, it looks very good.

You know, I've been looking around, and I don't see any noise. Perhaps
you meant photo-realism, which is much less real than realism. Or perhaps it
is time you had your eyes checked?

It's great.
It's a shame the render isn't higher quality. Perhaps you should make
another render over a very long period of time...

Here's the same image without the noise. If you compared them closely, you
can see that this one is cleaner.
I used the technique described by Kari Kavisalo some posts ago. Scale up the
image, add noise (double noise in the blue channel), blur a bit, scale down
again.
It's subtle, but should be noticeable to the trained eye.
And yes, among other shortcomings, I have far-from-perfect eyesight. Perhaps
somebody who was born luckier than me, and has better eyes could tell me
that both images are not the same.
Of course, I strive for realism and photo-realism, please forgive my poor
English which didn't let me express myself as I wanted.
Fernando.

Thanks Xplo, I'm glad you liked it! If I have time, I'll experiment with
sharper dice.
Thanks for your suggestion!
Fernando.

Thanks ncryptor! Yes, I agree... This one took about 1h30m in my PII@833.
Probably I'll render a larger version with better focal blur overnight.
Thanks again!
Fernando.

I think it would be better if you used a slightly wider depth of field also.
All the best,

I like it, though the focal blur definitely needs some higher settings, and
I'm really not crazy about this add-noise-for-photorealism trick that
everyone's doing. =)

Hi Slime,
I'm glad you liked it! Perhaps I'll leave it overnight rendering with more
ambitious settings; I agree that the focal blur needs more samples.
About the noise, I'm also not fully convinced about it's usefulness... But
thanks for your comment.
Fernando.
