Cool. Especially the landscape.

A great landscape and your bricks are well done I like the way the snow
accumulates on the stones. The sword seems too long to be able to stand on its
own. The grass seems to take away realism IMO. Coming from a place where there
is snow on the ground 4 mos out of the year I have never seen grass sticking
out like that.

The background is neat, but I dont like much else.

Great textures.

From ZenPsycho@yahoo.com:
well it depends on how you composited the terragen scene in. People in the comp
tend to look down on post processing techniques, such as using photoshop. I
like the snow in the foreground. I live in colorado, and in general, snowy
mountains don't have that much snow on them, they at least have some bare
rockface showing on the steeper slopes simply because snow can't stick to
angles steeper than 45 degrees.

From youknow@ucan.foad.org:
I like the snow on the crenellation even if it's a bit
too even. Very empty landscape but that does go
with it being abandoned.

The distant scenery (something I never do well) is particularly good.

"The mountain range was an image made in Terragen. I hope that doesn't disallow
me from the competition. "
  No, of course not.  But the mountain range may be the reason people like your
image, rather than your own careful work.  

Rendering with radiosity would help the realism, possibly.

I do not understand the sword.  It seems arbitrary, especially the angle.
