This image is increadible! But i agree that the background could use a litte
improvement. I can't exactly describe what to change though. I think the
color of it is too similar as the chain links. Making it more grey, like
grey stone, could improve the color contrast. Also using light sand as a
background could be very nice however it'll be difficult to match the
lighting angle i think, cos sand lays mostly on the floor :). Lighting is
about perfect imo.

make sure to keep this kind of render as an official, and make an other
version with the rain drops. It would be good to present them as
contrasting themes. Sun and rain :)

You may try rune's particles system. Find it here:

In fact, there is radiosity that allow shadowed part to get some light. 
I tried without but it was really too dark. Downside is that render is 
pretty long now (isosurface + radiosity + dof) but I guess it could 
certainly be improved regarding speed.

Thanks for photorealism copmment, it certainly comes from procedural 
textures and the slight DOF.

Thanks for useful comments, I'm trying to render a new version with a 
reduced depth for the wall as you suggest (this is a height field).

Thanks. Maybe I need to change the function used for the background 
height field.

Yep, the background wall needs definitely some improvements. I think 
you're right about the color, I will try to find a more contrasted one.

Conerning the one with the rain drop, well, it will depends if I manage 
to do it...

I thought about it but I was afraid it will be quite long to render or 
that I can't achieve the "trace" effect as seen on the image on the 
link. But I'll have to investigate deeper. Thanks.

Personally, I love it where it is .. I think that fake-rain look in the 
referenced image looks a little cheesy.

Cheers!
