I like the premise! My rock hammer's an Estwing, so you can bet I'd be sore if I
lost it while out mineral hunting. The guy in your image could very well be me
(except for the fact that I always double-or-triple-check my pack before moving
on). The man in your image really should have a pack, BTW.

I agree with Paolo that there is something amiss with the boulder. To me it
seems a bit out of place... but of course getting loose rocks to match the
landscape has always been a problem, IME.

Could be much better, though. Are you using radiosity? If so, you can actually
get away with a count of 1, provided your surfaces are sufficiently detailed.
I'll try to post something to the TINA CHeP EOG thread later today to show you
what I mean.
