I'm speechless. Totally speechless.

I think I should just give up now while I still have some dignity left... :)

How long did this take to render?

I thoght about writing more detailed praise, but then I realized I could
rant for several paragraphs just on the dust on the ornaments. Rather than
that, I wil merely say this: Really nice job.

This looks really good.  It reminds me of something that I once saw 
someone do with Bryce.  Except that the Bryce thing had mountains, bad 
lighting, a sky gradient and a mirrored lake.  Your image strangely has 
none of these things.

Otherwise, beautiful job, especially with the red garland on the left 
side.  Can you tell us the secret to this and to the paper swirl of 
confetti?

Fellas, it's time to abandon radiosity...

Do you have a website showcasing all your works of art in one place?

The garland is a piece of really bad-scripted code... (I'll post it later)
The paper swirl is not mine :-\

thank you!

It's not POV-related, but I too have made something for christmas, the same
thing I do every year: a Jingle Bells remix, this time in the style of
Aurora, by Nova: http://sad.nostalg1c.org/backtrack/aurabells.mp3

I certainly hope to see more of your work later :)

   Thanks, it's awesome. I love that seam on the balls... it's a great 
detail. But I don't see the Christmas tree reflected on the balls... :)

The garland is incredible.  The rest is amazing.  Nice work!

Your name seems to suit you, Lightbeam.  Your love of shiny, reflective 
things brings out the best in POV-Ray.

I visited the website you mention. I must say I very much like the 
concept and would love to experiment with it. However, I can't find out 
how to do this in POV-ray. Searching the documentation with "HDR", 
"Radiance" or "probe" returns no results. Could you point me to a place 
where I might find out how this can be done in POV-ray?

Thanks,
Maurice

POV doesn't support HDRI (yet), but you can convert a lightprobe to 
another format, wrap it on a sphere surrounding the scene for a 
reflection map.   You can also play around with exporting an HDRI probe 
at different EV settings with HDRShop and layering them with different 
ambient values and turn on radiosity to play around with 'faking' an 
HDRI scene.  (I tried once but got sidetracked...)

You will need to use MegaPov I think

If it were not for the fact that you cannot see a
camera reflected in the balls, I would swear this
was not a render but a photo.  Wow.
