I'm sure that the resident lighting gurus would be better than I am to explain 
the reasons why, but basically, many monitors do not display colors the same way 
so an image that looks fine on your monitor could look too dark on a laptop or 
mac.  POV has two settings to make sure that the files look the same to everyone:

assumed_gamma (takes color correction into account when rendering the file. That 
value is saved in .png and .tga files, but not .jpg or .bmp - try changing the 
output format of your image to see if they come out differently.)

display_gamma (will correct the colors so that they look good on *your* monitor).

My guess is that the other softwares you used had different values for gamma 
correction (or none) and that's why your seeing the different colors.

P.S.:  I've never had the chance to tell you, but I love your photo in 
Bluepages.  ;-)
