HERETIC!

Just kidding.  I do just about the same, except I just threshold and blur the
brightest colors.  Looks great though, especially the newest version with the
large dome.  Clever idea.

Ah, the ol' Photoshop trick, eh?  ;-)  You're right, it does add to the beauty
of the scene. Thanks for reminding me of this technique; haven't used it in
quite awhile. I think that your POV image--beautiful in itself-- made a
particularly good candidate for this post-processing step.

Last night's render. Please excuse the low radiosity/anti-aliasing settings.
