What I'd do is turn assumed_gamma upward (darker) to about 2.8 and adjust
radiosity brightness upward.  And maybe the sky could be of higher contrast,
whiter clouds, darker cloudless areas.  Not sure it would help.

It looks fine on my monitor, Bob. If it were any darker I wouldn't
be able to see it. Turn your brightness down.

Yeah but with radiosity 'brightness' turned upward  a couple integers it would
be light enough again.  In MegaPOV anyway.   Oh and perhaps recursion downward 1
if it's already way up to begin with.

Looks like a light-house to me? No picky feelings here - I like realistic, but not the
pain in the neck looking up at it ;-)

But only a lesser god. A greater god would have capitalized the word
"God" when referring to himself.

Unless his shift and caps lock keys are busted from 3D gaming. Or have
you not noticed that Noah never capitalizes?

He'll never be able to capitalize on being a god until he learns how
to capitalize the word God.
