Beautiful image! Good textures and camera angle.

From tek@evilsuperbrain.com:
I was impressed when I saw a wip of this on the newsgroups, and it's got even
better since then! The earth looks good, and the moon's surface is excellent.
Though the rocks near the camera look a bit low res, and there's a bit of an
edge between the ground with the footprint and the nearby rocks. But on the
whole it's great!

BTW, love the camera angle.

From shay@simcoparts.com:
The view of the Earth is nice, but I think a better viewpoint might be from
directly beside the building of the lunar base. Some large and more complex
structures in the foreground would give the image a better illusion of
distance.

I like the space concept... Pity of the influence of humans still being there,
though.

From rich@brickbots.com:
The earth is top notch, and I like the detail of the 
footprint.

From awesomeamazingaaron@yahoo.com:

Like the diagonal tilt. Simple but effective.

From juanjcampos32@hotmail.com:

The simplicity of the landscape and the conservative approach to the lunar
colony combine to give this image a sense of reality that allows the viewer to
accept it as genuinely possible.  The footprint is a bit of a gamble in that
its crispness takes away from the photographic quality of the image, otherwise
a wonderful collage.

From batronyx@alliancecable.net:
This is an interesting camera angle you've chosen. It's simple and bland, but
seems well composed.

From charliemc@prodigy.net:
very effective, good job

=====
From Sardook@telocity.com:
I would have liked to see a bit more color in the colony.  I seemed like a black
and white picture with the earth colored in.  I was still good though.

=====
From 25ct@lineone.net:

Very nice Gail. I think the contrast between the Earth and the Moon is
good.


=====
From jrcsurvey@aol.com:
The picture has an agreeable ambiguity about it, like there's just enough 
detail to make it real yet still retains some mystery.  The tilted camera is 
great together with the raking light.

=====
From chris_hormann@gmx.de:
Surely the best of the 'moon-earth' scenes in this round.  The earth is very
nice although the atmosphere should be thinner of course.  Radiosity or a low
angle dim fill light would have improved the shadow areas on the moon probably.

=====
From clem@dhol.org:
Nice, but the terrain is much too smooth surfaced.  It looks 
molten, rather than torn.  Did a one legged flying astronaut 
land momentarily?

=====
From p_chan@shaw.ca:
I like the lighting in this scene - the lack of ambient 
lighting gives a more authentic feel for a planetoid with 
no atmosphere.  The footprint could use some 
improvement as it's outline in the lunar sand is too 
straight and rigid.

=====
From glenn@mccarters.net:
The best of the "moonscape" images, by far.  Good stark landscape.  I =
like the tilted camera angle, which emphasizes both the footstep and the =
Earth.  Obvious question: where are the rest of the footsteps?  Small =
flaw: nearest heightfield doesn't blend well with the next one.  Good =
Earth and sky.

From hgregory3a@aol.com:
technical marks deducted for machine generated height field (pushing the random
button repeatedly is not very technically challenging)
otherwise top artistic and theme marks.

Notable for modelling

This image provides a really good feeling of space, one almost doesn't feel
gravity anymore...
Notable for modelling, composition, textures, originality
