Hi :)

I'm a french user of POV-Ray for half of a decade from now, and I'd like to
present one of the scenes I had rendered. It's my best among those I have ever
made. The mountain are not beautiful (and this is what I like the least). I used
many macro (with while loop) with a lot of linear prisms for the wall and a
macro with tile for the roof.

The chalet is well done indeed, but the landscape is more than basic. You 
should use a height_field there with a slope texture. I suggest that you 
decrease the size of the tiles which look outsided in comparison with the 
rest of the chalet. Tiles should eb weathered and of different hues. Also 
put some snow on the roof.

Not too bad. The lighting could use some work (some visible shadows from
light_sources and radiosity would be nice).

The cottage could use a different roof, perhaps. As my brother pointed out, such
tiles would probably become dislodged under heavy snow.

The hills, while they appear to be height_fields, look like they might be
derived from an 8-bit grayscale image. 16-bit grayscale images usually work a
lot better.

Other than those things, you did a decent job. I rarely complete an entire scene
:/

I modified the chalet... I added radiosity, snow on smaller tiles and better
mountains.
