Your ground crackle texture needs a normal to match the pigment: it didn't come
out too well.

Well done on all points, good idea and execution.

I like the mystifying concept and the contrasts. An excellent idea wherever it
came from.

Funny and Educational

Interesting representation.

From douge@nls.net:
Good interpretation of theme.  The texturing could use some work... stock
patterns always end up looking kind of dull.

A nice artsy image I am not sure I understand the description.

I don't get the foggy desert background.

From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
Yeah, I like this one. That's one of the few that does not need an
explanatory text, it hits home without it.
Very cool.
Definitely the best concept, well, I think, top concept mark shared with
Moby Duck.
The shadows are a bit too sharp though.

I rated the top few as follows (overall ranking) :
1/ Moby Duck
2/ Shipwreck near La Guaira
3/ Atlantic Still Life
4*2/ Sinking, Le Grand Bleu
5*2/ Missing Maine, The Great Wave
The others are well distanced.

From StephenF@whoever.com:
I like the concept of this scene, and the cardboard 
construction of the ships and sea look good.  The 
background seems a little bright, though.

A great iamge.  It reminds me of Japanese pupet theater.  Some of the textures
could do with some more work, particularly the boats.  The right hand side of 
the image seems a bit empty.
