Plants (bushes) and their shadows? I can just make out what look like bushes
against the far wall (a nice touch.)

Very moody and atmospheric. Dickensian! Like Olde London.

Regarding the post-processing issue:  I'm quite surprised that gamma and
brightness/contrast correction are allowed, since they can  radically alter
the look of a scene...and would thus seem to qualify as *major* image
manipulation (which could instead be accomplished to any degree desired
within Pov-ray itself, with a bit 'o work.) Not sure I understand the
relaxed rules about that. Call me a purist!
