From jaime@ignorancia.org:
I must admit that the photo is integrated very well, at least in terms of
perspective (the green parts can use some correction to match the greens on the
image). The central tree seems almost from the photo... anyhow, it's only a "1
second" impression, and then it becomes too evident it is a background photo.
Nice image, anyhow...

v nice: use of the photo at the back works really well. maybe the grass blades
are a bit big tho...?

I'm not sure if you can speak of "liking" a picture like this, but it is a quite
good graveyard. Unfortunately, graveyards seem to be a common theme in
loneliness.

From cherii@att.net:
I like this one very much, except that the headstones look too small in
comparison with the grass and the butterfly.  I was not able to view the real
cemetary using the link you provided.

Very pleasing image.  The vegetation to lighting looks very nice.  I am
impressed.  BTW, for stones over a hundred years old in a forgotten graveyard,
arn't they looking too new?  Some textures would of helped to dirty them up if
this was your intent.

From rgow@calweb.com:
It looks a little "too" much like a photo.



=====
From awilcox@dreampeach.com:
Those grass blades are thick.  The background image blends very nicely into the
foreground, well done.

From jpgargoyle@sapo.pt:
Nice pic.
The grass is out of proportion. Looks too big to me.
Best regards.

2 macros, a repetition in models and a photograph background. Very plain.

From suso@suso.org:
  Perhaps the grass could have been a little denser and more varied.  Usually
if
 grass grows that high it becomes unruly.

From rclee@oklahoma.net:
Trees and grass look good.  Stones look a bit too 
clean.

=====
From glenn@mccarters.net:
The trees look especially realistic here.  Quite bushy and full.  =
Background is a good choice.  It would be nice to see just a bit more =
variety in the stones besides the writing.  The grass, of course, is =
much too coarse.

=====
From scandia3815@yahoo.com:
Quite an exceptional image, the grass and leaf colors are very natural, and the
background comes quite close to matching the foreground and not just looking
like a backdrop. Kudos!

=====
From bill@apocalypse.org:
the scale of the grass seems too big compared to the stones (blades should 
be smaller). Trees and background landscape look great.

From p_chan@shaw.ca:
You have done a good job in creating the appearence of 
hilly ground using the trace function.  The transition from 
rendered foreground to image_map backround works 
fairly well, although that darkspot behind the butterfly 
seems out of place.  Some variety of shapes for the 
tombstones would also be nice.  On the issue of 
rendering speed, you also seem to be using more grass 
and trees than you have RAM to handle (I assume the 
857034166  is the peak memory used number, which 
exceeds 512Mb).  This means you're using virtual 
memory, which slows down render speed drastically, 
which in turn explains the 4 day render time.

From patrick@sypa.net:
The grass looks too long or big ??? But overall great picture. I like the
way the background fit in the picture !!!

=====
From StephenF@whoever.com:
Nice trees, and the butterfly  looks good.  Grass isn't 
bad, but could use some work.  I think more could be 
done here to develop the concept of loneliness.

=====
From jl@artcom-gmbh.de:
Beautiful landscape modeling, only the grass in the foreground seems to be too
big.

=====
From gailshaw@mweb.co.za:
There seems to be something wrong with the scale. 
Either the stones and the butterfly are very small or the 
grass is very big

=====
From clem@dhol.org:
 The butterfly makes this a cut above most of the many 
cemetary scenes in this round.  The scenery, which 
implies life going on for the not-dead, helps.  Iti is well 
done.
