The tree looks good, especially the bark texture.  Some colored reflective 
spheres on the tree wouldn't go amiss :-)

Wow that's great, how long did it take to render (ie any chance of an 
animation)?

Yes, it's true. I actually don't have any ongoing POV-project I've
touched lately. Today I was repairing my car, yesterday and the day
before that I was sick. But on Wednesday I was doing at least
_something_ I do stand a chance to show - lately I've been enhancing my
entertainment battery. I mean, sorting it out, connecting devices,
making cables (I ran out of solder, argh) etc. So that I can enjoy lots
of stuff again. Excuse me for posting a crappy digiphoto (I might POV
this someday, but not yet;), but it's only in the name of the thread.

If they are, you can modify the lamp to have a nice ladder-effect with
some extra-voltage. Just make sure to filter it out of A) electric
network and B) from the bulb.

right now, i'm quite out of time.  But this was one of my last attempts with
povray.  The interesting part is that it uses a three-layered texture for
the pen.

Ok, here's what I'm working on for CGSphere - 'SlugFest'. :o)

 I'm certainly not happy with the leaves and regard them as placeholders for 
the moment.

 My soundbite for the image would be: "Slippery Slimy Slugs Slithering 
Slightly/or/Slowly _ _ _ _ _ _"

  I'm lost for the last word or words - any idea's?

I didn't know about that CGSphere thing, thanks for bringing it to my
attention!

For your orange:
try making the hole in the centre a little more ragged around the edges
(maybe by differencing out an isosurface cylinder) and show a few
millimeters of white pithy rind in the cut, to give it more depth...

Thanks, I may try that.  There should be some of the white pithy rind as I
did texture it that way, just not visible I guess.

BTW, I have my next one posted
http://www.cgsphere.com/gallery/details/?category=Show%20All&view=rating&artist=&main_app=&limit=30&fimit=60&submission
_id=1519
I got a better looking grid as I was able to use 0.0 AA settings on this one
without having to wait a week.

OK. Apart from Triton and Neptune, I am working on a scene for the Cathy's 
World series. This one is based on a scene from the movie Stalker 
(Tarkovski). Tunnel is built in Silo. The texture is using Rune's patina 
macro. This is a somewhat older version. In the current version light shafts 
are visible but the render time increases tremendously due to the scattering 
effect, so I have no complete render available now. Working on the details.

   Thanks! It took about an hour thanks to the focal blur... otherwise 
it renders fast, as the fish is a mesh and the background just some 
height fields overlapping. The difficult part for an animation would be 
that the fish model is rigid... but I've still to look into Chris 
Colefax mesh macros, as I seem to remember these allow mesh bending.
