Lovely, very contemplative. Soft, volumetric shadows always induces a
contemplative mood which in this case is entirely at one with the
subject. But you knew that.
I also like the treatment of the far shore. Reinforces the mood of
peaceful reflection.

Thanks, I was feeling a bit flat last night, I'd been expecting
more from the higher quality settings.
The bark texture does look pretty good imo (see attached jpg), shame it
doesn't come across so well in the final.
The AA is pretty high as it is:
Sampling_Method=1
Antialias_Threshold=0.1
Antialias_Depth=4
I'd experimented with method 2 but the render times went way up,
I'd have to commit to some pretty slow renders to get rid of the
last of the graininess from the water.

Thanks. It's actually pure hand-written CSG, with splines guiding
prisms for the legs, and lots of sphere sweeps to bevel all the edges.

Thanks!
I was right to leave the speedboat out then :-)

Remember that Antialias_Depth does not have exactly the same meaning
for methods 1 and 2. A depth of 4 translates to 16 potential samples
for method 1 but to 289 (!) potential samples for method 2 (of course,
they won't all be taken all the time, but it's still a *lot* more
samples for method 2). You should try method 2 with a depth of 2
(which may still take up to 25 samples), this shouldn't be too much
slower than your settings but give better results.
See http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/223/ for complete
details and a table giving the number of samples at each depth for
both methods.

I love it !!!
Can you render it in 1440x900 (or in 1024x768) ??

Thanks.
I guess I could try a bigger render, it's currently
960x980 so I could double that for 1920x1960, and
take on board Jerome's antialiasing advice. I still
have the radiosity save file.
It should take about a week, I'll post a link if/when
I've done it.

Hmmm, 960x980 is enough, don't waste your CPU time for me !!!!
(but thank you for your proposal)

Too late! :-)
it didn't take nearly that long anyway, though there are some
radiosity issues it seems.
Stitched from 3 parallel renders:
==> 0Kotoji.log <==
Total Time: 32 hours 15 minutes 32 seconds (116132 seconds)
==> 1Kotoji.log <==
Total Time: 47 hours 51 minutes 43 seconds (172303 seconds)
==> 2Kotoji.log <==
Total Time: 46 hours 40 minutes 41 seconds (168041 seconds)

or if that's too slow
