Actually my real concern is the accompanying text written about my image and 
render process. I tend not to be a great describer I think.
I've uploaded to Aol before and there's practically nothing to that, the 
reviewers there even edit your description.
What makes this particular one a lousy candidate for my first irtc submission 
is the fact that it is not a plain old render. I used multiple, animated, 
renders to make several images then do a multiple image_map-layered texture, 
then used the result to render as an image_map once again. To say the least it 
is time consuming and guess I'm going to have to leave the result as is, even 
though I've seen better during the whole process.
Well, guess if I write this into the description text I'll be all right, you 
think? Maybe I'll copy and paste...

Good luck to the rest you povray "stills" people.
