Image description
Australia is planning an optical observatory for Dome C, a site high on the Antarctic plateau. Here, the waning moon at sunrise marks the end of a long night of astronomical research.
Description of how this image was created
It's all POV-Ray CSG, with no post processing. The terrain uses a heightmap hand-drawn in greyscale with Gimp. The human figure uses a photograph trimmed using Gimp and applied as a pigment to a POV object.

This scene has a lot of potential, but it's quite flat, lacking detail and depth overall.

To be honest, I found your image to be quite artistic, and gave it a good mark. Although, I think it might have been better if the observatory was moved back a little, and showing its own shadows.

Snow and ice are difficult matters to tackle, and you did a fairly good job to bring over the space and the cold of the Antarctic.
Apart from the ice, I just feel that your textures are too flat. Perhaps a bit of normal would add a more realistic touch and give some depth to the structure.
