Really? Well, I am biased of course...

The angle of approach is probably at fault here ;-)

Yes, it looks like a jumping Dolphin.

This is going to be the final version (more or less).

Apart from the curtains, the most notable change is the atmospheric 
media which has been made conforming the surface of the Earth (yes, the 
surface is curved in this scene) and not to interact with the water media.

Happily, the curtains made a mess in Poser, not wanting to keep to the 
curtain rod as all well-behaved curtains should do. The result is a 
rather more interesting draping of tissue.

Turned the pigeons round and round but without a really satisfying 
result. I am too lazy to re-pose them so, take it or leave it ;-)

   They look funny, but nice.

   Just before reading this, looking at the image, I figured what's he
problem: the still-flying pigeon needs to be much closer to the rail.
This new shot shows better the pose, and it seems to me like the kind of
pose a bird would adopt just seconds before landing.

Yes, it is a weird draping but it looks functional in the context, so I 
shall keep it.

Yes, the distance should be less maybe. Oh well, a bit of artistic 
licence ;-)

I like how the curtains capture the light.

The backside illumination diffuse is contributing much towards this in fact.

It's good to see that feature being used in serious renders at last. 
Until now it didn't seem to get any of the attention I think it deserves.

Really? I am surprised. I use it each time I have a semi-transparent 
object (and don't forget about it first). In the present scene, the 
sails of the ships also use the feature.
