Certainly one of the best. Good idea, nice textures and lightening. Just one
regret : I would have liked a little more explanations on your techniques, to
learn.

I loved your metal textures.

This is fantastic.  I have seen some very nice renders 
come out of POV Ray, and this is near the top of the list.  
I think it shows what can be done with POV ray, it really 
is a very nice renderer if you take the time to use it.  

The concept got top marks from me, I love the Jules 
Verne like style as you put it.  

The textures are spot on, and you used the specularity 
channels as well. I understand you wanting to keep your 
lighting and texture tricks to yourself, but people here 
could learn a lot.  Maybe a quick tutorial outlining some 
of the basics?

Almost perfect! A bit confusing looking through the door and through where the
wood panels are missing. But, I still think this is the winner!

From cblouin@cs.dal.ca:
This is a very strong entry! Your light and textures are remarkable, great
modeling too.

I love this image, it has a very Wallace and Grommit 
look to it. Excellent textures.

From rgow@lanset.com:
Good image!  Good modelling, texturing. Lighting seems a little odd as there is
nothing in the image to indicate what or where the lighting is.
