I like the idea of having the remnants of a snowball on the camera lens.  A cracked camera lense would also be a cool effect to add.  The sky could use some work, and the houses in the background could be more diverse.  Having a basic knowledge of matrix algebra, I don't really find it that useful in POV since a lot of what I can accomplish with matrices I can do with POVs built in functions.  As long as you can visualize how an object is being translated or rotated, I find that you can position it quite easily using multiple translate and rotate statements.  If you need to condense everthing into a single translate statement (for a macro) you can use the POVs vrotate function to generate the translation vector.

The snow on the camera, good idea, but it doesn't look 
like it. And where is the snow on the other side of the 
road?

From StephenF@whoever.com:
Cute bears, as usual.  Snow texture looks good on the 
parts around the camera, but the snow on the ground 
and fort looks a bit blotchy.  Background elements look 
a bit like cardboard cutouts but give an interesting 
feeling of depth to the scene.  I personally don't like the 
title bar, and feel it detracts from the scene.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Everything seems to be laid out too precisely, as if we were looking 
directly down the Z-axis of the scene.  Sky desperately needs a gradient 
from the horizon to the zenith.  The bears, with their poses and clothing, 
are quite good.

This is great!  My only issue is that the whole image looks cartoonish
except for the church, which is out-of-place.

From delfeld@mailcity.com:
You are incorrigible with bears.  But you are getting good at making your scenes work.  

Two comments:
1) Your copyright text should not get in the way of the image.
2) Try not centering a few renders.   See what things look like from a variety of side-angles.
