I entered an image of a night sky with clouds, because I thought it was more
impressive than this earlier verison of the scene, and I didn't want to
enter 2 versions of 1 scene. Still, in retrospect (considering it placed
lower than my other entries), perhaps I should have submitted this version
instead?
Wow am I a bad winner or what?! Seriously thanks to all who voted for my
images :-) Congrats to the other winners! And thanks to Paul Bourke for
organising this test of such a totally bizarre skill!
Anyway, here's the full code for this sunny version of my clouds:
cone{y/3,8,y+2*z/3,8pigment{rgbt 1}interior{media{scattering{2,20}emission
7density{pigment_pattern{granite color_map{[.6rgb 0][.8rgb
1]}}cubic_wave}intervals 8}}hollow}light_source{9*z+3,1/3}fog{distance
8rgb<4,6,9>/6up y+z fog_type 2fog_alt 3}//sunny day
Enjoy!

Typo, I meant the night version was more -technically- impressive IMO, I
think the sunny one looks better artistically.

lol I was going to compliment "Cloudy Night" for its artistic edginess
over the prettier version. They are impressive but the contest was full
of impressive pictures. (These cloud pictures have an interesting
"Rorschach" component to them, btw)
Congrats on your winning entries. "Dawn over the mountains" got my
vote. The technical side of it interested me little though. These iso
landscapes seem a well traveled route. What impressed me was...that
given that fact, the image was constructed so carefully to produce such
a tender and delicately balanced result, that it actually overcame my
prejudices.

Well stated!
These runner's up are my own potential entrees that ultimately didn't
make *my* cut.

0wned!
Seriously, that's the best sky I've ever seen with POV-Ray. None of mine
ever came close...

You know what's really annoying? It's the best sky I've ever done, but it
needs the default assumed_gamma and I always work with assumed_gamma 1, so I
can't use this sky in my real scenes!!! AAARGH!

Tek,
Congratulations on a stunning technical tour-de-force, both in the
competition and with this image. Quite amazing.
I personally felt that your entries might have been more 'artistic' by
paying more attention to things like framing and composition.
The 50/50 upper/lower split does not lead the eye anywhere.
Some of the SCC4 monochrome submissions were artistically brilliant, but
lacked the complexity which is the hallmark of achievement.

Well the 50/50 split is necessitated by the defaults in povray, it takes a
lot of code to lean the whole scene up or down. Though ironically my
lowest-placed entry had a much less dull composition:
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/modelling_rendering/scc4/final/qllgxv.html
I spent a long time refining the angle of the clouds and position of the
moon relative to the camera, though even then I didn't have total freedom,
the clouds have some artefacts at the bottom of the sunny image that I've
managed to move out of frame in the night time version.
I have to say the monochrome ones largely looked too accidental for my
liking, which isn't something I like even in abstract art.

I loved the moon-in-the-clouds version too, fascinating.
