For the trees, I would suggest Gilles Tran's Maketree.  I also remember that
minaret towers have doorways leading to the balconies.  The boats take up
enough image space to require more detail.

From batronyx@cadronhsa.com:
Very thoughtfully executed. Apart from the mosque itself, I particularly like
the trees.

=====
From tony@awmcs.net:
An impressive scene. Your people look really good for their simplicity.  To get
nit-picky the bumps pattern on the image is a bit too pronounced. Add some
anti-aliasing or reduce the power of the pattern.

From marlo.steed@home.com:

Very grainy looking, harsh shadow,... but nice detail
=====
From StephenF@whoever.com:
As usual, the amount of detail here is impressive, and 
the scene has a nice feel to it.  The people work well 
here as a small detail which fleshes out the scene, as do 
the boats.  The trees look rather solid and molded, more 
like they are made out of clay than natural objects (but 
still a lot better than any trees I've ever managed to 
make!)  Overall, a job very well done.

From ojamies@cs.helsinki.fi:
Great modelling, with better textures this would be one of the best.
=====
From jsimpson@acm.org:
would benefit from some use of atmosphere effects to make the image more
naturalistic and less architectural

I like the shoes! :)

From tom@tomandlu.co.uk:
Good modelling, but let down by texturing and lighting. 
Try a sunset. The main mosque texture is very grainy at 
the moment.

=====
From jrcsurvey@aol.com:
There is a charming sense of careful modelling and some subtle choices of 
camera angle and sky.  It gives a sense of caring re-creation of the scene 
instead of tromp l'oeil illusion.

=====
From chris_hormann@gmx.de:
Great modelling work, composition looks very nice too, but there is a lot
of free potential for improvement of texturing.

=====
From youknow@ucan.foad.org:
The textures combine to give the image a painted look rather
than a photographic look -- not a bad thing, even if you did 
not intend it. I like that the background is not empty as too 
many images tend towards.

From delfeld@mailcity.com:
Ontology:
Everything is illusionary.  It appears real, but is only a reflection.  A
starting point is required, and by judgement of comparison, all other things
fit into place.  But there is no necessity for the initial concept, and the
image dies as it begins to come to life.  

Axiology, and epistemology:
It simply is brought into being, which means that value comes only as
established, but (again, and again!) is not necessary because of the thing in
itself.  What need is there for this image?  The final image is succint, and
the method is sincere, but you are dabbling all the same.  It is very close,
but still is elusive of impetus.

Wow, great work with modeling the mosque.  Textures are not very good and the
whole thing looks more like an architechtural flyby.
Notable for modelling
