What we are seeing here is the infamous cross-contamination of voting
categories. If the image looks great it will receive lots of points in
each category regardless of whether it is good in that specific category
or not.
  In this case the technical merit became blown up because the image looks
so pleasant to the eye although the image doesn't deserve it. As you said,
it's only a bunch of image maps rendered on a scanline rendering program
and with possible post-processing. This has no technical merit at all.
Honorable mention for artistic merit? Perhaps. But not a winner, that's for
sure.
  'Canyon' got 13.972 points for TMerit while 'triangle' got 13.514. Almost
the same amount of points although the difference in technical merit is
enormous.

  Why there are different voting categories? Just a few people takes them
into account anyways.
