Just making beautiful images like this one is enough, as it shows what
POV-Ray is capable of, and inspires others to create.

LOL, thank you for the piece. After nine years I would have the same memory
problems (stacked coins seems to be from 2003). But it reminded me that I have
forgotten to give credits for the "The Tale of the Magpie and the Diamond
Cuckoo" which is the title of the picture. A long time during the creation of
the picture Michael Hough's nest (Bluejay in the IRTC June 1998) was my dummy
before I created my own nest, but still his feathers have survived (with another
texture) as the tail of the magpie. And the gras (completely invisible due to
the focal blur) is created with the macros by Gilles Tran. The rest - especially
the japanese tea house - is my own creation.
Best regards,
Michael

If anyone of you has an interest in a wallpaper rendering at a resolution of
1920*1080 of this picture (the tale of the magpie and the diamond cuckoo) please
tell me here. I render it for my own collection (now at 87%, after more than 23
days). It should be complete next week. I will post it, if anyone is interested.
Best regards,
Michael

Despite the fact that no one requested this image I will share it here. I really
like it. With the bigger resolution you will find all the flaws better but I
think it's still fine. Not an owl but I like all kind of birds, especially the
pair of magpies who beated me in building a nest, some 20 meters away from my
window.
Best regards,
Michael

Who cares if the image is so nice?

I hope you mean they built their real nest before you managed to build
your virtual one (I've problems differentiating the multiple meanings of
"beating"... ;).

Yes, the original magpies in the front of my window were faster. They had their
hatchlings flying before I finished my model. But I like them, like all birds.

Thank you for posting it; it's lovely.
Personally, I found it more visually engaging as it opened originally in my
browser: cropped somewhat to the lower-left part of the image, with the Stone
near the bottom-right corner.
Please keep up the great work!

...meaning that magpies are smarter than you (in building nests)? ;-)
I love this scene!

Thank you and waggy and Jaime and all the others. Yes, magpies are smart birds
and with building nests they are professionals and not hobbyists like me. To
waggy: I preferred a centered scene in this case, but the browser yielded an
clipping to a more golden mean position of the main objects. This really could
improve the scene, but since the rendering time was over 24 days for this
picture at a core i7 - due to the focal blur, the media and other time consuming
issues - I will not take an other approach. Thank you again for your comments.
Best regards,
Michael
