Your are right, there does seem to be a gamma problem 
here.  The animals are ok.  At least you gave it a try, 
that's more than I can say for myself.  There is 
something odd about the lighting.  Only the three small 
plants seem to cast shadows.

From tony@j4tb.com:
Your watering hole looks really good. Your fog seems to me a bit too thick, it
obscures the filtering effect of the trees. Your trees look great nice
attention to detail. Your animals look too skinny. Add a fatter belly and then
I think they would look very realistic. Overall not bad for being out of your
element.

From bonsalva@bellsouth.net:

Look very surreal.  As far as blobs- I would not build a CSG model first.  Just
build the thing with blob spheres and use the strength with distance to get
what
you need.

From warp@iki.fi:
The objects are perhaps a bit too simplistic and the textures could be better.
The same for the lighting.

funny horses with knees.

From mark.wagner17@gte.net:
Everything in the image seems too "stiff".

From chris_hormann@gmx.de:
Seems to green for me, many details get lost, I like the various plants you
made

From jouni@mikrobitti.fi:
Not that bad, but you could've used the green a bit more sparingly. The color 
balance should help details to pop out, but now some interesting parts are
hidden
in the greenish darkness. The topic is a damn rough one for people using
POV-Ray
text editor only - taking the tools into account you've done quite well :-)

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Some of the models seem to have a "cardboard cutout"-look.  I think better 
lighting would improve this.    Judging from the shadows under the flowers, 
the scene must be sunny.  But the rest of the image is dull and overcast.  
Perhaps a brighter sunlight source, along with a more distinct mask to 
simulate the forest canopy, would help.

Artistic - a balanced picture, but background and sky colour (cough, Cough) :)
needs
    some work.  Still you are progressing quite nicely skill wise.  A good
effort
    artistically for a newbie and impressed that you did what you did with just
POV Ray.
    You clearly have talent.  Don't Give Up!  Looking forward to your next
entry.
Technical - excellent construction and technical notes in your TXT file.
    A lot of demanding hard work in here for someone still new to this.
    Very impressed by rocks, those foreground flowers and your grass texture. 
Also
    impressed with how you made your animals.  may I suggest you get the
modeler
    Moray 3.1 and try it out (it works with POV Ray 3.1)
Concept - definitely a wilderness (go ahead Stephen you've earned a sigh of
relief) 8-)
