Ok Daddy, the contest is over. Can we have have our blocks back now?

From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com:
Neat! I like this idea a lot.

From tek@evilsuperbrain.com:
Very realistic materials and the positioning of the blocks looks really
believable. The lighting works quite well, but it is very strange. Nice use of
focal blur.

From xilo_m@hotpop.com:
Very nice image, but I think it lacks something, there is no action in your
image, nothing seems to happen, if you had added a catapult and destroyed a
wall of your building, it might have been much much more realistic...

From marlo.steed@uleth.ca:
The concept was spectacular!  The modeling also worked well.  Something about
the image looks sort of washed out, I think I got that feeling because you used
depth of field but to use depth of field effectively it needs perspective that
is created by context.  Let me explain.  The background and the ground plain
are not recognizable (is the ground suppose to be grass?)  This is a very
creative piece  with a bit more attention to details such as the texture of
your bricks. it could have really become good for artistic merit as well (I
wasn't sure if the bricks were wood or gold or something else).

This isn_t really about arcitecture, is it? Virtual reality is a tool you can
use to depict many things, including arcitecture. But this topic isn_t about
vitual reality at all. It_s about arcitecture. O.K. Building blocks are also
used to simulate houses, I remember my LEGO years as my first attempt to build
something architectural, and I believe I_m not the only one so here is a
connection to the topic. But I cannot understand the use of pink and yellow
light in this scene. O.k to the more technical part. This is great work on the
macros, good looking building blocks wonderfully arranged. Radiosity and light
work well together giving realism and accuracy. The focal blur looks very
realistic (I have actually taken photographs of arcitectural models and this
looks similar to the blur I got on my photos). A little bit off topic but all
the same good work.

From jjaguar@worldnet.att.net:
The lighting is good, and the focal blur really helps give 
a sense of scale.

From chris_hormann@gmx.de:
Very nice idea and well modelled and lit.  There are several
parts which are quite obviously mechanically instable of 
course.  The dirty look of the background is somewhat irritating
but not necessarily bad.  You lost a lot by using that strong jpeg
compression, 250k files are allowed, yours is only 34k

From p_chan@shaw.ca:
Excellent work placing the blocks.  Placing a few 
unused blocks in front of the castle adds to the realism 
of the scene.  This effect could probably also be 
enhanced by making the positions of the blocks more 
random.

Child's Playthings seems to be a recurring theme this month, but this is one of
the better ones.  Has a very "physical" feel to it.
Notable for composition, lighting
