Very nice. I like glass scenes with the frills :)

5 days ago this picture was taken on a local pleasure cruise (162K
jpeg, 2272*1704):

Looking forward over the bow. Look at the ripples bottom right of
picture (these extended as far as the eye could see). They are about 2
to 3 cm peak to peak. Look familiar?

If you're referring to the "ripples" in the render then "no, they don't look
familiar". The plane in the render is a simple flat plane. I suspect the
"ripples" in the render come from too low photon count.

Crank up the photons count enough and those "stars" will disapear. Look 
at the circular patern on the far side, it shows the photons scan 
patern: a spiral.

But it doesn't look like AMT2 does it, Dave?

Yeah, I know. In this render I had a count of 2.500.000 , I raised it to
10.000.000 and it's rendering right now (well, has been parsing for the
last 6 hours, memory use upto 2.5 Gb sofar)

wooohh... makes me think of that very hard glass ashtray that someone threw
against someone's head some time ago. Believe me, those glass ashtrays are
painful!

(not my head furtunately)

Sorry, my comment was meant to be humorous :/
I had just downloaded my camera and then saw your post a few minutes
later. The initial similarity of the images caught my eye :)

No need to apologize :) I just thought that you saw some ripple effect in
the plane

Looking at them again there is indeed some similarity between the two

Btw, I restarted the render with a 4-fold photon count. It's gonna take a
bit before it's done :)

Sure, why not? That was my ashtray until it shattered into a million pieces.
