This is my first attempt at photon mapping, in general I think that this
is ok, although I cheesed out on the floor :-)

PRETTY. (I'll bet that took a while to render!).

about 15 minuets to parse (all the photons.....) and about 1.5 hrs to render
at 800x600. I was trying a media version (type 3) but have not figured out yet
how to set it up properly. I either get splotches (not enough photons) or a
system crash (way too many photons....)  trying an intermediate number of
photons gives me a bad image (too brite or too dark etc... but I shall keep
plugging at it :-)

photons are very fun.

Just break the floor into planks and all would be fine.
I noticed the far back block appears to merge into the stack of spheres.
Only a juxtaposition I'm sure but it looks like it's stuck into them.
The block midway obviously isn't even though it too does similar at
the far left corner, however that's something of a benefit I think to the
play on light and reflection there.

looks ok, personnally i like using photons when there are only a couple of
items in the scene, floors ok tho! - wood tends to show photons off better!

Looking good, and like you say the floor sucks infinetly. 
With MegaPov 0.4 photons have changes quite a bit, I havn't
looked at the docs for this yet but will do some time soon.
