I got this thing all rendered, and then discovered that somehow the changes I made to the balcony (moving the supports to the edge of the base) didn't get saved in this version. So, I'm rendering again. However, the side by side is a comparison of the: (1) new sky (that's a fog bank creeping in at the horizon) (2) new texture and color for the table and chairs (3) non-glowing wine (4) moved and lightened up palm tree As mentioned, the edge of the balcony will be changed (although I have seen the post on base type before, where the supports are bolted in from the bottom rather than the side ... but I digress) in the final version, but I wanted to get an idea if you all thought the second version looked better. I'm tired. I've worked on this thing much too long.

Could be worse, could be raining.
