I find that most of my tweaking in POV is for 'artistic' reasons - 
making sure shadows don't line up with edges, or that the light is in 
the right place to make the objects look right/good, or that objects are 
placed and textured naturally. Only occasionally do I find myself 
tweaking for image quality.
