Thanks a lot or your undertaking,
First note that looking at images through small previews on the web interface of
theses newsgroups is always error prone and one would naturally go to the more
contrasted. But opening full screen and really looking at pictures,
I clearly prefer the third version because a) it's the most realistic would one
consider the season to be winter (paler) rather than summer, and b)that does not
show procedural cloud color map edges so contrasted as was so frequently done in
the nineties, it's crucial now that POV moves away from what people think are
its limitations to show what it really can do.

If not already done, could more "modern" macros such as lightsys or
CousinRicky's metal work or the ones you mentionned be integrated to those
official libraries at last or is there some show stopper ?
