===== From sonya_roberts@geocities.com: Beautiful image, one of the nicest of the Excalibur's in this round, IMHO. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Very artistic! But the rock for the sword its a box! Why not a random blob? ===== From libelle@webbwerks.com: Nice composition and lighting. ===== From ricco@alphalink.com.au: nice lighting ===== From Jean-Luc.Peuriere@wanadoo.fr: The background lake is very very good! It's a pity that this stupidly cubic block kill most of the effect of your image. First it should not be centered (look in a photography book for the 2/3 1/3 rule) and it should certainly not be cubic ! ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: Great sky. The only point is that shadows are not at the right place... An area light might help. I like this picture! ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Super image. Very moody, serene, and artistic. The sky sphere, height fields and atmosphere are all used well. I might have put the sword in a rock instead of a cube, but otherwise a perfect, inspiring image. ===== From no13@ozemail.com.au: The sky is excellent. ===== From cfusner@enter.net: Extremely well done. The artistic composition is fantastic. The lighting, the shadows of the trees, the sun on the water is all magnificently done. The use of a simple block to represent the stone in which excalibur is stuck surprised me, however. It just made it seem like the sword-in-stone was a museum piece, and feels slightly out of place with the rest of this image. ===== From chipr@niestu.com: Very nice work on the castle and sun breaking through the clouds.
