Well, I have the necessary software and a capable computer system.  What
I lack is the time, inclination, and perhaps the talent to create a
winning image that way.

It's a heckuvalot easier to pick up a camera and go take some
photographs (yes, even award-winners), of real, solid objects, believe
me.  I have nothing but respect for the talented individuals who can
generate a competitive "computer-generated" [now there's a misnomer]
image literally from nothing but their imagination and a few hundred
thousand mouse-clicks.

I think they deserve their own category because they're in another
league!
