How do you know that your image was not one of the exceptional?
For me, I did the best I could with the time allotted. There are many
people here with skills that are far better than mine. But I work with what
I know, and with what time and hardware permit. If I didn't think I had a
chance, I would not have entered the competition to begin with.
You also have to realize that this competition is not as much about "us" as
it is about "POV-Ray." These prizes are not simply being given-out because
of someone's generosity. While some generosity has come into play, the
prizes are also an advertisement for the sponsors. People don't like to
talk about this, but it's a reality. The sponsors expect something in
return, and if we don't provide that to them (in the form of exceptional
images), they will be less likely to do this again. I hope I don't get
flamed for being overly frank.
Chris Cason, Gilles, Thorsten, and others have been very generous with their
time on this, however, so please be kind to the organizers. I would also
like to ask everyone to try to be more positive, but all I can do is ask.
