Very nice, I'd prefer it without the border. I like the almost-sepia finish very
much.

Needs object variety.  Sand, vegetation, birds, whales... take any two.

From pbourke@swin.edu.au:
It is beautiful, good colouring

=====
From wagner-michael@web.de:
Quite nice.

From panthus@xtra.co.nz:
Lovely colouring. Most artists balk at silhouetting the models they have spent
all that time making so this is a sure sign of courage. Exceptionally balanced,
lit and composed. Very serene.



=====
From dvnss@mega.ist.utl.pt:
It looks great, but the black and white disguises the obvious lack of detail
that would make that scene perfect!!

=====
From marlo.steed@uleth.ca:

Really a nice image.... nice artistic touch.

From tony@j4tb.com:
An interesting twist having it black and white. Your water though realistic
looking seems calm for the ocean.

From a.swan@ucl.ac.uk:
I really like the fact that it is all in one color - a very rare (if not unique)
feature in this round's entries.  And it's an extremely good picture too...

From angelaperry@webcombo.net:
A beuatiful monochromatic scene! The colors and the frame give the
picture a very artistic nostalgia, which evokes an earlier time.
Although the subject was common to this contest, the picture stands out
because of its artistry and technical merit.

Yeaaaah !
Except for the much too sharp fall of of the bright spot in the
clouds/sky. Or maybe is is too saturated for me.

From StephenF@whoever.com:
This does look nice... the sepia-tone effect was a good 
choice.  The ship and rocks look good.  I'm not sure 
about the texture on the water, though... just doesn't 
look quite right to me.

From peter@table76.demon.co.uk:
Ah, Columbus returns :-) .  I'd still like to see the galleon better.  I like
the sepia-toned effect.

From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk:
A really great looking image.

From delfeld@mailcity.com:
For next time, set up a wood frame along the veiwing normal  of the camera. 
Since you are not supposed to add anything visual after the ray-tracer, I gave
you a low technical score (signatures are different, in my mind).  It has good
movement through the  picture, and you picked an easy method of attracting
attention - a very dark object against a very light one.

I like this image a lot, though I could do without the border. The composition
is very appealing. The monochrome tone comes across fine.
