That looks quite reasonable for a straight away render of a converted 
scene.  What has to be said however is that competitions of the type 
"supplying a scene designed with application X and having programs 
compete how well they render this scene" is not a good estimate for 
renderer abilities in general - it just benchmarks the conversion 
programs and how close the abilities of the renderer match the 
requirements of application X and the scene (in this case indirect 
illumination of bump mapped meshes).

For an unbiased comparison the rendering problem would have to be 
described in a more generic way - and in this case this would of course 
be as much a modeling competition as a rendering one.
