   It's a very nice effect, and the scene you used for the test is also 
beautiful and very apropiated.

   I think it is clearly a postprocessing filter, but it is allowed as 
it is done by the same renderer. If you do it automatically using a two 
pass technique it's perfectly "legal". Other thing is if the judges will 
detract point for it not being a "true" 3D effect... I will not, as I 
see it as a very creative use of the renderer, wich is what the spirit 
of the competition is all about, IMHO.

   Indeed, congrats: I see your inspiration is coming back!
