The problem with the guy's description is that the parts for which he 
can take credit aren't very good.

"wasn't a photo" : much of the detail came from photos
"cg" : only some of it
"MADE in Povray" : only a small portion was MADE in Pov-Ray/Bryce

The trick isn't in downloading models, scanning photos, or modeling a 
lamp post. The trick is making it all look good together. Johnyf's 
version doesn't look that good. It looks like the wallpaper in a Subway 
sandwich shop (if those exist where you live). IMO, for johnyf to let 
comments like, "this is (a) ... dense and detailed scene" pass is dishonest.
