It is not really good style to post such unqualified accusations,
especially not doing so anonymously. The composition of the judging
panel is not pubished because it is not final yet. But as clearly
written on the competition website the judges will not know the identity
of the entrants.
The idea that the povray.org website is biased towards Gilles' images is
not understandable at all to me, on the contrary there are only very few
of his images in the new HOF at the moment - something that will change
for sure. Of course all this has absolutely no influence on the judging
in the competition, the images on the website are selected purely
according to the personal taste of the webserver owner and the rest of
the POV-Team.
If you don't like Gilles' images that's completely up to you of course
and i am sure he is open to qualified critique but this newsgroup is
surely not the right place for that.
