===== WOW! GORGEOUS lens flare! ===== I love the effect with the sun ===== I do not believe this to be a legal image. This is a post production lens flare done with PhotoShop and not Pov. If you have the code to show us on this please post it in the newsgroup so we can learn from this. ===== Nice lense flare effect, don't like the city. ===== This is all I have to say "Holy shit!!" I didn't think you could do those lighting effects with pov-ray!!! ===== Very Impressive. ===== Love the lighting effects (rays, lens flares etc...) All round nice image. ===== The lence flare is perfect. Very good work. I am gonna try this . ===== Nice lens flare ===== I almost rocked you for the lens flare until I read the text-file. It looks excellent! Wow--rendered lens flare. The city looks pretty cool, too. ===== Wow, spectacular! ===== OUCH. Lens flare WAY too big. I'm blind! Great effect in POV-Ray, but I think it should be a little more subtle. ===== Nice ideam and I like the sun flare, very cool. My biggest problem is that the triangular "leaves" are very obviously not big enough to cover their sections of the dome, which really hurts the realism. Also, the shadows need some softer lights or some serious antialiasing. ===== Killer lens flare! ===== Sometimes you need to know when enough is enough. There's too much happening here. Objects in the sky and on the ground combat for attention and give a crowded feeling. The lensflare, while quite brilliant, doesn't resemble real lens flaring, as far as I can tell. ===== Erm... wow. ===== Very impressive lensflare indeed! ===== Wonderful lens effects !!! nice saturn too... great color ===== I especally like the lighting of this picture, I think that the moon blocking out part of the sun is the wrong color though. If it were blocking things out it would be almost black. I also like the spiral galaxy very nice. ===== The lens flare is brilliant. And entirely with POV! BUT NO SOURCE? NOT FAIR! ;^) ===== The holy grail of a POV-Lens-Flare, -and- a cool picture!?! Wow! ===== Excellent "lens flare" effect! POV-Ray's come a long way... ===== Excellent lens flare--I knew it could be done with povray only! The city is nice, too, and the dome is very cool. Fine work. ===== A beautifully artistic image, this one wins the "Picture my wife would most like to have framed and on the wall" award.
