Looks cool, but if I may make a suggestion, the reflection of the light should not be more intense than the light source.
Yeah I went for a value of 2 on caustics because I liked the magical effect, even though it's not physically accurate. Maybe should've stuck with 1 ๐
But you made that choice because you liked how it looked. If you're making expressive, almost surreal art and not just trying to "trick the eye" with photoreal, I think it's cool!
The ability to break physics but maintain believability is the coolest thing about computer graphics. :D
So, I guess it depends what you were going for, and I think the previous advice wasn't bad, but you'll always get people trying to push that realism perfection even if that's not what you're trying to do.
Beautiful render, I really like what you did with this. :)
