And apart from that with a bit of knowledge about how POV-Ray works or if
you read the text file you could notice that rendering this kind of scene
is quite a computational problem.  It's easy to nitpick about the
technical limitations of an image if you don't have to render it.

I don't think the technical rating in the IRTC is always optimal, but for
this picture it seems perfectly justified (if not too low).
