This is in fact sometimes a real problem. POV-Ray has evolved a long way 
since its early versions, and while maintaining compability with 
previous versions it seems that nowadays the default settings give 
poorest possible results. So, you have to study all the available 
settings and configure each one with trial and error to give realistic 
results. Or follow groups like these and imitate the masters.

I know that realistic settings take more time to render, but to lower 
the learning curve, it might be worth thinking about making POV give 
realistic results with default settings.
