When you do a render, POV Ray create the image file directly. That image file share
the same name as 
your source file and is in the same folder. That is, unless you tell POV Ray to put it
elsewhere, or 
to not create it.
In windows, open the explorer and navigate to the folder that contain your scene
source. Set it to 
list or details (sorted by file type) may enable to find it faster.
With windows, it output as *.BMP by default. If you want a *.JPG, you need to convert
it with an 
image editor.
You can change the default format by editing the "povray.ini" file in the renderer
folder. Add a 
line "+fn" to output as *.PNG if you want to make smaller files. You can't directly
make a JPG file.
