===== From chipr@niestu.com: The best of your four entries. Nice mood, good subtle colors. Needs a focus or a "reason", however. ===== From sroberts@learn.senecac.on.ca: Love your use of my tree-creation routine ;) - also like the cold glitter of the glass trees, very sharp. The wind chimes are a nice touch. ===== From jay@map.com: Lovely tree. That's a nice way to make it look icy. ===== From tholal@bga.com: Great Tree! ===== From klynn@minn.net: Nice solution to your rendering time problem. Great trees. ===== From mickmcm@indigo.ie: A nice 'fantasy' feel to this... kinda reminds me of one of the Narnia books (can't remember which one). ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: I think it's pretty, but not really glass. ===== From schmij3@rpi.edu: Beautiful tree ===== From rea@st-and.ac.uk: This is not bad. The idea of splitting inside/outside was good for trace time, but is apparant in the lighting. Check the lighting, and image maps look *far* better than here. ===== From jmills@stic.net: Great work.I hope to someday achieve this level of craftsmanship. jmills@stic.net ===== From xeo@sprynet.com: The tree and everything beyond looks reall good. I just don't like the porch at all. I think a wood deck style porch would have looked better and more appropriate. The wind chime came out nice though. ===== From uvasst00@mcl.ucsb.edu: I love the use of the dark porch to seperate the fore and middle grounds. Excellent image and theme. ===== From no13@ozemail.com.au: Too flat. A little foreground lighting would open the scene out. ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: Very icy and crystalline. Good interpretation of theme. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: I gave you high tech marks because of your description of how you got around the slowness of your machine. :) Well composed pic. I love the wood texture. From web_user@173-127-214.ipt.aol.com: what has this to do with the topic, glass? Nice trees. From web_user@tonyv.aztec.co.za: Notable for composition
