I second that!

Here's something to contemplate: Should the HOF showcase images that only show
off POV-Ray's impressive 'strengths'? Or should it also include POV images that
have pictorial beauty, regardless of what techniques were used?  (Of course,
having both at the same time is the ideal; but they are different philosophical
concepts.) I kind of sense that the general attitude is for including, first and
foremost, the 'strengths' side of things. I don't disagree; but that may be
slighting some of the more intrinsically beautiful or complex images in p.b.i,
those that have great subject matter, composition or what-not, but which may
not have gobs of radiosity, depth-of-field, SSS, etc.

Either type of image would be most welcome, IMO.
