Hi all,

I've worked on povray in fits and starts, and have correspondingly lurked
around here.  This isn't my first post, but it might be my second.  I know
it doesn't fit the rules exactly, but there is a checker pattern involved
in the floor texture,  and spheres were involved in creating some of the
other stuff, and.... oh, never mind.  :)

Some explanation:  I started out thinking to create three-dimensional
versions of parts of one of Frank Stella's large multi-canvas paintings.
The idea was to create, ex post facto, the subjects of paintings that were
meant to be purely abstract.  This explains the shapes of the three
foreground objects, and the texture on the one.  Where the three squares
are on the wall, I would show the corresponding 2D versions.

Now, having come to this point, I have choice to make.  Do I procede with
the above idea, and introduce the remaining concentric ring textures, or do
I leave Stella behind and rework it with my own shapes and perhaps somewhat
less busy textures?

Fortunately, this image rendered in about four and a half hours, so I can
run pretty high quality tests overnight.  I do wish the focal blur gave
better antialiasing along high-contrast edges (such as on the ring
texture).  This image used 100 samples with variance 0.001 and confidence
0.95.

Anyway, I'd be happy to have your comments and suggestions.
