This is a bit dark I think, it could use some candle type light at front.
Nice mood and good composition.

Very good modelling in CSG.  I think your lighting could use a lot of work
(brighter would be better) and your stone wall looks a little fake (sorry).

From marlo.steed@home.com:

detail is there but the finish needs some work in terms of the glass and wall
textures.
=====
From StephenF@whoever.com:
All the glass objects look good, and the lighting helps 
create a mood of mystery.  I'm not sure about the walls, 
though... they don't seem to mesh well with the rest of 
the scene.  I think it might have worked better to use a 
single piece of wood for the tabletop... the single line of 
light coming through doesn't look all that good.  The 
wood texture looks pretty good.

From jaime@ctav.es:
Lighting is a bit confuse. I think having the light source in a visible
part of the scene must help to avoid such confusion. Arrangement is nice,
but perhaps the composition is a bit empty, unused (well, perhaps the 
alchemist no yet started The Work? :)

Textures need work, but some nice modelling

From peter@table76.demon.co.uk:
I thought the books were quite effective, and was surprised to read your
description of how simple they were.

Artistic: Very nice lab set up, however the size of the wall stones detracts
from an otherwise nice image.
Technical: All in POV-Ray, we're impressed and good technical notes to
appreciate the effort put in well done.
Theme: Very much on theme.
