sexy

may I add water?

As long as it doesn't deteriorate both "simplicity and realism" I don't see why you could not, but that's just me

You may add water or juice or milk or whatever material your computer can cope with..

I don't think it's ultra sexy - but I guess we'll see what people manage. 23 days to go! :O

Oh guys, nice renderings here... I actually sent my version to render, but it's sooo crispy... I hope I'll get a fairly noise-free result before the 30th of may.

Same here! Glossy transparent is just so friggin slow with PT

Exactly... gettin the crisp out of the cauchy takes ages. May limettes are still too noisy... 20 hours rendered now.
But, I've got patience...

Alright, enough with the patience...
here's my version. I decided to remove the old window completely in order to get more nice diffuse transmission to the lemons. Still quite grainy there, even after noise reduction... but I hope you'll like it anyway.
