I really like the blue spiral effect.

From jerry@hoboes.com:
The swirl looks more like a snake than a swirl of water (but looks good for
that, nonetheless). Your horizon is noticeably flat--I think not just because
it *is* flat but because the sky doesn't change with distance. But good use of
fog. Nice lightshow around the wizard, also.

From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com:
I like the aura effects around the wizard and the grey figures below.  There
needs
to be a better transition from grey to black and the spiral needs a better 
texture.

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
The water is in no way recognizable as such. The dull gray plane (which
allegedly has a bumpmap (sawtooth appears utterly inappropriate for water),
that cannot be seen) looks just grey.
The "water spiral" cannot be made of water, water both refracts and reflects
light, POV, as a raytracer can easily and quite convincingly simulate this,
please read the manual to find out how (Hint: IOR).
The plural of torus cannot be torii, that would be the plural of "torius". It
should be tori, in English "toruses" is probably acceptable.

Cannot tell this has anything to do with water without reading the text.

From arcana@sinbad.net:
Intriguing concept. I think there's still room for improvement though. The
water spiral being the main thing. Did you think about using a blob
structure in a spiral loop, rather than a CSG of torii? It would have
afforded you the ability to play with blob placement to get a rougher, more
watery surface. Also, water needs an ior. Oh, btw, how in the world did
this fellow get to the top of that mountain? <grin>

Interesting concept, but this is a difficult subject to render well.
