Well the 50/50 split is necessitated by the defaults in povray, it takes a 
lot of code to lean the whole scene up or down. Though ironically my 
lowest-placed entry had a much less dull composition:

I spent a long time refining the angle of the clouds and position of the 
moon relative to the camera, though even then I didn't have total freedom, 
the clouds have some artefacts at the bottom of the sunny image that I've 
managed to move out of frame in the night time version.

I have to say the monochrome ones largely looked too accidental for my 
liking, which isn't something I like even in abstract art.
