I would concur.

Maybe the way to approach it is to use three different scores that are 
weighted differently (OK, I'm stealing an idea from the scoring 
methodology for Iron Chef America here).

In ICA, they use three scores - taste, plating, and originality.  Taste 
is weighted 10 points, the other two are 5 points each.

With IRTC, it seems to me that the three categories might be something 
like "concept", "technical", and perhaps "realization" - the last one 
being how well the concept + technical is realized in the final image.  
The first two could be weighted to be of lower importance (but important 
to the overall end result) and the last one is the "taste" (if you will) 
- how well the concept and technical components come together.
