Thank you indeed, Jim. I thought the background was appropriate for this
scene. It is a park where I come several times a week.
Yes, the plastic imposed itself on me. As a side effect, it looks also like
a kind of cloak, giving something mysterious to the statue.

Thank you both, Helge and Hassan.
Hassan, it is amazing how a simple, casual, snapshop of a park (like here)
can give an atmosphere to a whole scene.

Ahhh the birds! Now we know why the cat looks so content. I think the
plastic over the statue defines why the statue has been placed there. A very
imaginative and elegant solution. I too think that there needs to be
droppings around/under the birds nest. The placement of the nest is
excellent.
Thomas, I am very much looking forward to the third panel.

The bird is fantastic!
How do you did the motion blur effect?

Maybe boost the resolution of the bitmap in an editor. The image
information will be the same density, of course, but less pixelated
perhaps? Then add some grunge or other texture information at the
higher resolution. You might gain the effect of the image looking faded
rather than just low-res. Or maybe not...

Hmmm... yes, might work. I shall have a few experiments.

Very simple: with motion_blur in MegaPOV. This scene was a good reason to
experiment with it, and it paid off!
More in detail: I built the complete scene in Moray and rendered the wip's
in POV-Ray version 3.5; then I made the final render in MegaPOV 1.2.1, after
tweaking the different necessary settings for motion_blur.

Thank you Merrin!
Yes, I am working on the dropings (a fist wip yesterday was worth nothing).
The third panel has been started yesterday too.

Some object don't look well anti-aliased--especially the pipes (or cables?)
under the arches.

Yes, that is correct. The traction bars look bad. I am currently making a
new render with a better aa setting. However, I cannot get rid totally of
the effect.
