TonyB spoke of photographs that look fake. I think some photorealistic raytracing
looks fake. I think that it raytracing, there are also different degrees of
photorealism.
There is
"Wow, such excellent raytracing that looks just like a photo!!! :-) :-) :-) "
and then there is
"Wow, this looks like a window to a real place!"
For an example of the latter, see:

Can you imagine how this artist's photorealism would have to be altered to be in
tune with most winning IRTC entries?
