btw: c42.txt and c42.pov seems linked wrong
I agree with warp thumbnails could be linked with original images.
Optionaly shortview page could be linked somehow.

Congratulations for the winners and participants.
I feel special case of winer when I add all points of my entries ;-)
I have also some unfinished/failed entries and I wonder what to do with them.
I have one question - anybody adjested brightnest of

Accidently I prepared this image in night and forgot about light background in
daylight contrast issue :-( That's my fault but I wonder if anybody tried to see
that.

As I mentioned earlier I think this contest was very important. I have found
some bugs in 3.5 developing my entries so it was good from product view. I have
learned many things about some features so it was good from my view. It showed
power of scripts so it was good from 'advertising' view. It presented some
technics/algorithms in short form so it was good from community view. I think
that 500 chars is best limit for interesting scene. Lower amount of characters
could be just sig (I know there are short entries in contest). My proposition is
add one-word subject similiar to IRTC. It can be anything: green, car, cold,
water, star etc. In general I'm pesimist - after a few rounds number of
participants will be low.

I can help you with some automatization. Write me what you want to automate.
