Whoa, it's a scene from "Honey, I shrunk the IRTC!"  Just kidding.  Lots of
color, good theme, but it's too busy.  I didn't notice 'Mr Winter' until I read
about him in the description.  This is a good idea I would like to see in a
different composition.

Beautiful off-topic image.

From nx@chez.com:
Some nice flowers, but more organic textures would improve realism. Also, you
should use a strong light to simulate the sun and reduce the intensity of the
others 'cos shadows are a little bit confusing.

From mwhite@concourse.net:
Nicely done! Great concept other than the flame being a little round I gave it
high marks all the way around.

From chris@68k.org:
There is a pleasant "fakeness" to this image, probably due to the vivid
colors.  Nice.

This may get the award for the most tools used.  I gave you an couple of extra
tech points for learning to use so many tools.  The image seems a bit confusing
with no focus.  Also there is some nice modeling here and there. I like the
butterfly.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Quite colorful.
So many colors and objects that I had to search carefully to find "Mr. Winter".

From djconnel@flash.net:
Wow -- this one wins the "most tools used" award :).

But it was worth it.  Nice modeling!

The composition of the scene is surprisingly rich.  What it needs,
though, perhaps, is a bit more attention to texturing.  Also, the fire
could use a little work -- more transparency, more turbulence,
less spherical.

Still, it's a fascinating piece of work!

Mr. Winter: "I'm melting!"

From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Very funny and colorful picture, with an interesting idea...
The problem with texturing is that it is not coherent: most objects have a
fairly simple texture, as others have complex looking. You should have made a
choice here!

Good composition, good modelling, nice diversity in shapes.  Colors are a
little harsh (reds and greens); lighting in unnatural, because you used
multiple
light sources in an exterior scene (there's only one sun); use just one
main
light source and, eventually, add a shadowless light or a very soft
arealight
to avoid dark areas (or radiosity, if you have time !).

Very clever concept and some nice modelling.  Textures are too simplistic.  I
like the unusual perspective, but relative sizes seem to be all off.  This
