===== From rgow@lanset.com: Very cool scene. I like the colors and the composition. Could maybe be darker. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: The lighting of the picture looks a bit off... This might be because of it being an alien world, but it bothers me a little nonetheless. I do like the feeling of decay that comes from the image, which is generally a difficult thing to do in raytraces. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Wow! I think this shows that the more details you have in your scene the more realistic it looks. If I look closely at any one thing I can see how it's built, but the overall effect is that I'm looking through a window at a different world! I like the sci-fi art feel, the varied and wierd structures, and particularly the whole layout of the scene. There's a great sense of depth and scale going from the tiny foreground objects to the huge buildings in the distance. I only have one suggestion for improving it, try using more varied textures: e.g. bird feathers, different shades of wood, windows on the buildings, more natural clouds. But that's a pretty minor issue in such a nice scene. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: This image is one that I would classify as almost there but needs more attention to detail. I think if you are going to put objects into the foreground, they really need to look good. The plant and bird needed more work. In addition and perhaps even more importantly they look 2D rather than 3D. Adjusting the lighting on those objects would have them jump out a bit more. ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: Lots of great details in a very surreal world. Many elements, both classical and futuristic in one scene. Good proportions, good layout. I miss more details on how your created this scene in your text file, are you using Isosurfaces? Macros? Makes me curious. Nice work. ===== From fergie_2002_@msn.com: i rated this high on artistic merit as i love the fact that you painted this in 1987 and raytraced it now ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Nice use of fog. Clouds seem somewhat flat.
