Wow, ok, this scene is like a study in contrasts.  Great use of imported
textures and images......sort of!  If you had modeled your daughter, and
had made a raytraced starfield or other type of sky, this scene would be 
truly gorgeous.  The foreground is really unique.  Damn, you have to make
a new sky for this scene!  Trust me, if you do, this scene will be
incredible.  Augh!, I just looked at it again, please get rid of that
starfield image map and render a sky!  But honestly, great job on the
foreground texturing.  That's some of the best work on textures I've
seen in Pov-Ray.

From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
The simplest way to get of your ripple problem would have been to use a single
normal pattern for both the pool and column : try an onion apttern and see how
it goes. The problem with yours is the ripples in the column are not visible
(maybe inherent to the way you light the whole scene).
So your daughter came from heaven ? Lucky you.
It dos not look like the girl is a flat object in pov-ray, that's a real success
of a technical trick there, congratulations. Probably because you chose to
place it properly in the picture according to the angle she was taken in the
photograph.
Nice composition.

A very nice picture. I really like the choice and balance 
of colors and light sources, it creates a peaceful and 
harmonious atmosphere. Great art work !

Star background doesn't go well with the rest of the picture. Foreground
very nice.

A very nice image with some complex shapes and a good balance of colour and
composition. My only problem is the blurriness of the stars in the
background...
looks a little unreal.
