Well stated!
These runner's up are my own potential entrees that ultimately didn't
make *my* cut.

0wned!
Seriously, that's the best sky I've ever seen with POV-Ray. None of mine
ever came close...

You know what's really annoying? It's the best sky I've ever done, but it
needs the default assumed_gamma and I always work with assumed_gamma 1, so I
can't use this sky in my real scenes!!! AAARGH!

Tek,
Congratulations on a stunning technical tour-de-force, both in the
competition and with this image. Quite amazing.
I personally felt that your entries might have been more 'artistic' by
paying more attention to things like framing and composition.
The 50/50 upper/lower split does not lead the eye anywhere.
Some of the SCC4 monochrome submissions were artistically brilliant, but
lacked the complexity which is the hallmark of achievement.

Well the 50/50 split is necessitated by the defaults in povray, it takes a
lot of code to lean the whole scene up or down. Though ironically my
lowest-placed entry had a much less dull composition:
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/modelling_rendering/scc4/final/qllgxv.html
I spent a long time refining the angle of the clouds and position of the
moon relative to the camera, though even then I didn't have total freedom,
the clouds have some artefacts at the bottom of the sunny image that I've
managed to move out of frame in the night time version.
I have to say the monochrome ones largely looked too accidental for my
liking, which isn't something I like even in abstract art.

I loved the moon-in-the-clouds version too, fascinating.

Interesting.
The 2th one seems like a strange corn.
Care to share the source?

not at all:
light_source{9,1}
#local I=26;#while(I>-17)
blob{threshold.3
cylinder{0,-y*99,4,1}
#while(mod(I,9))
sphere{0,3,-1
scale y*9
rotate z*9
translate<4,-8>
rotate 49*I*y
}
#local I=I-1;#end
pigment{radial}
normal{quilted.5turbulence.3}
translate<I*2,0,60>
}
#local I=I-1;#end
It is related to my entry entitled: Shaped Stone
