working with materials and messing with the camera a bit...

Very nice image And I like the camera angle !
Those pepermills are very glossy, maybe more blurred reflections or less specular ?

Nice one James,

You may try to remove fireflies, just make a search with hotpixel 1.3 over google, you'll find a nice plugin for PS. There are also standalone tools. This will dramatically increase the quality

Yup, Much better.

I modelled the pepper mills after some highly shiny varnished ones I happen to have, I did consider turning down the specularity though..

while i await response regarding the linux build problems,
i'll have a crack at finishing my MLT code tomorrow.

You rock Radiance

@James
Your image is very good, im just the kind of guy that like to make critics about every details

Rendered with a different HDRI map and slightly different materials, also in this render the marble surface is more visibly marble.
