Wow! I never managed to get my stacked skies look so good! The rest is also very
well done, and the whole image is amazing. There is something about depth,
tough.. perhaps a little blur at distance will help.

"Wow", was the first thing I thought when I saw this picture. And I'm still
thinking it...

Very good work!  I'd say this one is going to be a very top contender.  The only
thing that looks slightly odd to me at first glance is perhaps the clouds, but
then again, maybe it's just me.

From awilcox@dreampeach.com:
You really brought everything together.  Looks very nice.

From ruy@hipernet.com.br:
Great picture, technically speaking. But it doesn't seem to be the fairest
depiction of the topic "Loneliness", though, specially because the bush has
plenty of company.

From jpgargoyle@sapo.pt:
Very good pic, although theres something about the rock I can't explain.
Best regards.

Finally! Something that's lonely and happy. Good twist to the topic. Very
enjoyable pic!

From mvernon@srendered.com:
I thought the scene was about the lizard.

From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Clearly one of the best images this round. A bit too loosely related to the
topic IHMO. Anyway, that one would make a nice poster :-)

From rclee@oklahoma.net:
I like the textures.  The clouds seem out of focus.

From jrcsurvey@aol.com:
Home run! The interpretation of theme is not so important as is the striking
pictorial realism.
Beautifully textured and modelled.  You have brought together all the elemen=
ts of a complex scene.

From glenn@mccarters.net:
Good work, but I think a blurred background or different camera angle =
might work better here to emphasize the bush in the rock and separate it =
from its surroundings.  This image would look good in 3D stereo!  The =
shading of the rocks is very nice.  Good realism.

From scandia3815@yahoo.com:
Very impressive landscape, notable especially for the foreground rock- the crack
is very realistic. 
=====
From bill@apocalypse.org:
Very appealing scene... the coloring and the smoothing details are well done

=====
From p_chan@shaw.ca:
The rocks in the foreground and the crack look very 
nice.  The textures look fairly realistic in the foreground, 
but the mountains in the background seem too artificial.

=====
From jl@artcom-gmbh.de:
This scene has a good "natural" feel to it.

Pretty, bu twould have been better for the next round.
