===== From chipr@niestu.com: More fish at school. Cute concept, but the atmosphere was too thick, making the fish indistinct. Nice vegetation, good setting and composition. ===== From mbrown@spry.com: Could use randomness in the fishies. a little more work but adds to the realism ===== From jsaxton@folio.com: Image is quite faded. I really like the shark. The fish are too uniformly made. ===== From bbowen@cswnet.com: I'm very impressed with the seaweed in two ways: 1) The arrangement of them in and around the boulders comes off very natural. 2) The way you've "made do". I'm sure Sonya will be pleased that her trees have a found a new use. :) Very creative actually. Overall, a school of fish is just a school of fish, even if they are finishing school ( perhaps for good! :D ) You were right, it wasn't as creative as you might have originally thought, but I did bump up the "Concept" score for your unique twist on the subject. ===== From xeo@sprynet.com: Anything. There, happy? just kidding. cute fish. nice picture. ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: Cute, but the new graduates are a bit too rigid in their rows. Some small differences in positions would make a large difference. Good overall. ===== From amarok@geocities.com: Perhaps custics would have looked good? ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: Good attention to detail (shark, rocks, grass), spotlight is interesting... ===== From tholal@bga.com: The rocks and the seaweed look great but the spotlights seem to be coming out of nowhere. ===== From klynn@minn.net: even better caustics than the other one ===== From shipbrk@gate.net: Nice use of atmosphere. The texture on the fish is a little odd, though -- makes me think of Odo on Deep Space Nine. ===== From sonya_roberts@geocities.com: I like the atmospheric feel that the murkiness gives this image. And of course I like the seaweed, too. The fish still look an awful lot like Gumby though. ===== From jlb36@cornell.edu: The use of atmospherics is very well done. The fish could use a differnt texture though; when was the last time you saw a jade fish? ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Nice undersea plant. Jaime (jaime@ctav.es) ===== From ptdawson@voicenet.com: Hey, it looks good! The fish could use a little random positioning, though. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: What's wrong with goofy fish? They _work_ :-) !
