That's a beautiful and pastoral scene; sorry that I had not commented previously
(too many POV-ray tasks and tests taking up my time.) I love the thatched roofs,
and the overall setting (and lighting.) I actually prefer the non-bloom image.
IMO, that effect seems to work/look better when applied to larger or simpler
shapes-- as opposed to 'blooming' lots of fine details, which looks more like an
overall haze. Or maybe that's the intended effect here ;-)
