IMO, It's poor ettiquite to have your first year art students swamp a 
competition. The IRTC was meant to be entered by *enthusiasts* of all 
skill levels, but that is just my viewpoint. Many of these images could 
qualify for being a "I did it because I had to" image. That's my main 
complaint.

I'm one of the few who really gets irritated at the lack of description. 
I'd like to know where the inspiration for the image came from, I'd like 
to know why you think it fits in the current competition category, I'd 
like to know how you made that image. What renderer did you use. If I 
see the bare minimum to submit an image, none of my questions are 
answered, and I'm staring at a poor quality image wondering how many 
minutes it took to throw it together.
