Great first attempt. What is it this month with first-timers submitting great
images?! :)

I like it. Definite room for improvement but certainly not a bad picture.

The fog and light work well in this picture. The sky is a bit empty, though.

From darwallace@earthlink.net:
The foggy background suggests a sandstorm, but no dust devils.

I did not clue in to the fact the markings in the front were foot-steps.  
Perhaps it was just me, but reading your story I understand now.  The fog could
perhaps use some more tweaking.  It somehow looks too artificial.
 The mech is done quite well for someone new to povray.  Keep up the good work
and you'll be a top contender in no time.

I watched you progress on this image on the newsgroups.

This doesn't seem to be a fair depiction of the topic "Loneliness".

"Excuse me, I'm not from around here... which way to a city?"

Good job, 500% topic. Good artisanship too.

From cfusner@enter.net:
A higher camera angle would enable us to see more of the footprints. Most
significant would be the tracks behind the mech, so that the viewer can see
they are identical to the ones just located. This would convey better what
is happening even before reading it in the text file. The idea is a good 
one.
Being both lost and cut off does work together well to enchance the idea of
solitude.

Great modeling. More background may help.

From glenn@mccarters.net:
Good work, but it looks more like a "mech in a landscape" image than a =
"mech who is discovering his own footsteps" image to me, so the extent =
of the lonliness doesn't register.
The dull atmosphere is quite good.  That and the 16:9 ratio do indeed =
convey vast desolation.
A good artistic first IRTC entry.  Hope to see many more from you.

From p_chan@shaw.ca:
The level of detail you have put into the modelling of the 
mech is admirable.  I agree with you on the fact that the 
aspect ratio used for the scene creates a greater sense 
of loneliness.  One thing I feel could improved the scene 
would be to have a smoother transition in the footprints 
indent to give the sense of blowing sands, and also to 
use ground fog with the same idea in mind.

Great first entry, but should have made it clear that the mech is damaged
... At the first look I tought the mach was tracking an other one.

=====
From StephenF@whoever.com:
Not bad, especially given the experience level of the 
artist.  The mech looks good for a CSG construct.
