A stylistic touch, hence the CSG Rose, but overall a realistic scene. Maybe
something like a sculpture or something would best define what I'm after:
something artful, yet photorealistic in its own sense.

I've modified the sky now, it's colored properly for a sunset, as is the
sunlight itself. Along with some colored radiosity and, due to the colored
light, more spectactular cloud-colors, I've removed most of the "grey
quality". I've noticed that as well, and a sunset really helps.

As for raising the camera, I've lowered the focus somewhat to obtain a less
upward-looking feeling, and I'm rather pleased with it. I still want to have
a tendency towards the sky though, so I think that part of the composition
is done. I'll post the latest tomorrow or the day after. Thanks for the
suggestions though, Mick!

Regards,
Tim

Hm, didn't we have that discussion already? ;-)

In the latest version, which I really like so far, I've raised the
ambient-value for the rose's textures, so that it'll glow a little with
radiosity. Point with the new sunset was the backlighting, I needed to get
the details back and wanted to highlight the rose somewhat, and I've found
that raising the ambient-value (for this scene at least) also provided
somewhat more contrast.

As for jelly beans, I think Freud would say that you're actually seeing
jelly beans because you want them, right here, right now! Go get some! :-)

Thanks, I will.

How about adding a compass rose

to the floor?

They make nice marble floors, and it makes for a good pun.
