Very dramatic and artistic rendering.  I don't quite follow what this has to do
with desert.  What is the red leave desert?  A little more explanation there
would have helped.  Good use of fog and lighting.

Beautiful image! Great job on the city & textures. The desert topic is not
immediately apparent though, the trees do not have a desert look.

Great picture, I love the colors.  Well modeled, and you have a great sense of
scale here.

From jacoons@ameritech.net:
Although this is a technically excellent image, I don't feel "desert" when I see
it. The fantasy aspect of the image did not affect the score, but if "Conan"
were running through a treeless desert instead of a full forest, I would have
scored this pic much higher.

I don't know how much of this image is pre-set in the software you use, so I'm
not sure if my rating is valid or not, but I like the images, especially the
trees, but I'm not sure how exactly it applies to the topic.

Visually stunning.  The city is great and has a nice "Myst-like" quality.  The
desert reference though... :)

From darwallace@earthlink.net:
It looks more like a forest area suffering from a drought than a real desert.
