Well, what I think is that your mountain is an awfully bright green. But
good use of fog.

From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com:
I think its a good start.  Keep trying new things and learning from everybody
you can!

From pmccombs@hotmail.com:
Not bad for a starter.  Check out other images to get ideas.

Too foggy.

good start

Just go on with POvray

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
I think you overdid it with the fog intensity, does not leave any detail
recognizable. Is that a boat? I also wonder is there is a lightsource or if it
is only ambient lighting...

Well, you asked! ;) :
A bit too foggy, perhaps to disimulate lack of resolution in hf? I recommend
to not use "smooth" inside pov, but in a bitmap paint program over a bigger
copy of the hf. Water is not very recognizable, due to lack of some waves and
reflections.

I think it looks very nice.  This contest is a very good way to get const=
ructive feedback.  You might get more helpful comments if you flesh out y=
our .txt file (heightfield for hill, I used such-and-such technique for t=
he boat) people can make more specific suggestions that way.
  Very simple, effective, realistic image.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Well, I think the scene looks murky.  Does it have a heavy fog?  The small
object adds interest, but what is it -- a boat that is partly filled with
water?  You might want to turn it a little more sideways to the camera. 
Mountain could use a more complex texture -- how about a gradient that varies
from green at the lower elevations to grey at higher elevations?  See "Land4"
in this competition for an example.

Think to the transparency and reflection; normal bumps;  and look at the
other for idea;  persever and persit to read again the help '-)

From chipr@niestu.com:
Not a terrible image, but not a great one either.  Not too bad for a
beginner.  Relies too heavily on the fog to cover for lack of detail, kinda
like a photograph of Elizabeth Taylor. <grin>  I had the feeling that this
would make a good setting for a scene, but the objects in the scene were
missing.  You have a grasp of most of the fundamentals, now start working on
adding objects to the scene and improving the detail.  More explanation in the
text would be nice, too.
