Your images do a great job of showing what radiosity does, are you using
area lights in the top two images?

Thanks for your help but I solved the problem, apparently some kind of
bug (see my other post to povray.general on this thread).

Does anyone know how I can increase the amount of light being diffusely
reflected by a texture without raising the ambient level (My scene has a
wide range of contrast and if I keep the ambient low, there isn't enough
detail in the shadows, if I raise the ambient, the bright areas become
pure white, I need brighter shadows and darker highlights(I never
thought photography would come back to haunt me :-) ).
