Of course, but I understood the competition was about creating a world class
*image* using POV.  If this really was the case, the judges should have
judged the images with no knowledge of how it was created.  Of course
afterwards they can check that is was actually created in a way that
complied with the rules, but *how* it was created shouldn't have affected
the judging or the comments if it was truly an "image" competition, and not
a "scene" competition.

But as I said, maybe I misunderstood (most likely) and there was some
element of creating a good "scene" as well as a good final image.  I was
under the impression it was to show off to non-POV people how good an image
POV can create.
