I don't know if you're familiar with the UK TV quiz show Mastermind, but if you
were a contestant, your specialist subject would surely be "Notable POV-Ray
Include Files and Macros 1990-Present".

LOL Indeed! I have a fairly good visual memory and... a growing 
collection of includes since the 90's, of which I try to keep also a 
rendered image. It is not very systematic, only those that I find 
interesting and potentially useful, otherwise I would surpass Ken 
Tyler's collection surely (if that is still available though).

Well since I really suck at those room view (and landscapes for that 
matter), I've taken this project in yet another direction.

I'm starting to like where this is going, because what you can't see 
(directly) of the environment, you see in the table top. Also the teapot 
... it has a bit of irid jazzed up the reflection of my favorite hdr 
map. The roses didn't start looking good until I added some sslt to the 
petals ... @Stephen translucency <1.4562, 1.4562,0.03325> at mm_per_unit 
40 and subsurface { samples 400,40 } (last two params straight out of 
subsurface.pov) in the globals block. The key light is very weak (just 
enough to cast some shadows) ... I'm letting radiosity (obviously test 
quality) and the hdr map do the work.

Good move! You have increased the subtlety of the scene. Much to look 
and wonder at about the environment. I find this much better than the 
previous version.
