Great work on the web!

Lighting and/or contrast could be better.

From d97ta@efd.lth.se:
the spiders look pretty real, as does the tree bark
but the lighting is not quite up to the standard
of the rest of your image, it looks like someone parked
a car in the middle of the forest and left the headlights on.
some more shape on the tree trunks would help (have you tried spatch?)

Brilliant web, now you understand #While and #Rand can you explain them to me.

Really a very nice pic.  The web is excellently done, and the spiders
look splendid.  Textures, lighting, all excellent.

Nice web!!! This is the better of the two web models,
as you varied the spacing of the strands.

However, you suffer from aliasing.  I would try
making the strands fatter, but varying the transparancy
to fade out at the edge.  This is sort of a forced
antialiasing without increasing render time.  Try it
and see if you get better results.

The spider is good, but is difficult to see.  It also suffers
from antialiasing.

The use of focus is nicely handled.

The tree trunks are too cylindrical -- they look like
utility poles. It's too bad POVRay doesn't have extrusion
objects -- they would make better tree trunks,
I think.


Nice job, though.  It seems like with more time, this
would have been a winning-grade image.

Hey, glad to see I was right when I told you that there was MAYBE an
optimization problem in your scene...
Apart that, the image is nice.  The web has much credibility.  The leave's
shadows are a fine touch.
The focal blur could have been set better (sharp focus on the whole web),
but I know tweaking fb
is time-consuming ;)

Good story.  Good realistic scene overall, although the tree on the left (and
particularly its sharp bottom edge where it meets the ground) is too dominant. 
Try panning the camera to the right a little more.  Or place some weeds on the
left side of the scene.  Nice focal blur, and great highlights on the web.
