Again one of those images which looked great when thumbnail-sized (during
test renderings), but look too clean in full size. Well, here it is anyways.

Too true! Focal blur makes it more realistic than you'd think, though.

Needs a nice fine turbulence warp with high octaves and omega, then a normal
block with the same parameters.

I'm afraid I have to agree :(
The parts that are out of focus, look very good, but the in-focus parts need 
a more defined geometry.

I like the lighting though!!

To me the plane of focus looks in the wrong place. If I was taking
that as a picture i would have focused on the flange of the front
pipe.  The focus looks just behind that .

Shows how much effect you can get out of basic noise.  The image is 
plausible.

Don't you select a sub-area first to check out the texture at full 
resolution?

Looks pretty good anyway, just needs more high fequency noise.

Very nice!
Warp, however I think that you can do much better, than this! :-D
