Did you mean my renders? I might upload a 2560x1920 picture.

Thank you for the link. I was not very sure of my memory.

It doesn't matter.

According to flickr, the original resolution is actually 2560x1920. The
2048x1536 is just an alternative downscaled download format offered by
flickr.

If the 2560x1920 PNG download were a fake, it would be a surprisingly
good one, including POV-Ray-typical PNG header features.

We can even learn that the file was rendered on 2016-01-07 around 10:24
UTC using an unofficial 64-bit build of POV-Ray 3.7.1-alpha.8141620 for
Windows, compiled with MS Visual Studio 2010.

The 2048x1536 JPEG version, on the other hand, shows clear signs of NOT
having being created with POV-Ray, but rather having been generated from
the 2560x1920 PNG original.

... oh, and "File_Gamma" was either set to "sRGB" or left to the default.

Yes, but... a chip would be less regular and not be exactly parallel to 
the bowl surface :-)

Simply that those four images are superior in their composition and 
lighting.

During the IRTC we had one or the other entry to win the competition with a
photograph. But IIRC they all are recognized  and disqualified.
