Michael,
This is an outstanding picture!  The huge amount of work you put into this is
obvious.  You have a great amount of talent, and I hope to see your work here
often!

Ambient captured. Nice!

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
This must have taken a lot of effort.  Faithfully captures the H.R.Giger look. 
Excellent use of fog.

From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Your lighting is good, and I like the way the back part of the scene looks.

From dick@buckosoft.com:
This picture looks "large" (It really fills the space).  Nice colors.
But, um "I don't get it" (not having seen Alien(TM))

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
I'm not quite sure what's this to do with arts and/or entertainment.
Just because there's a film with a scene similar to this one ...

=====
From i_emackay@mountains.net.au:
Well Done. One of the top ten in the competition.
You could experiment further with the lighting for more "atmosphere".

From Martin.Magnusson.7121@student.uu.se:
Very good modelling, but the metal texture looks a bit
plastic. You could try making smaller, sharper highlights.

From arcana@sinbad.net:
I really liked this image. A bit too much phong/specularity on most of te
surfaces,
but overall very nice. The one thing I would have liked to have seen changed
would 
be the tube you have running along the barrel of the gun. The one in which you
used 
a spiral or gradient pattern. It just doesn't fit with the look/feel of the rest
of
the image. :{)

From ptdawson@voicenet.com:
Very impressive! For those GPFs in POV/Win32s, did you try turning
off all the special menus, and the internal editor?

From bobfranke@halcyon.com:
Interesting alien.  The single spotlight works for me.

From peter@table76.demon.co.uk:
Wow... my only suggestion would be to include the spacesuited humans from the
film, to show just how big the pilot is.

Hey! I believe I saw that one walking down the street yesterday! Could have been
my ex though... Nice modelling job! Your scene, I mean, not my ex. But a few
things: why didn't you use any color? Just a tiny yellow accent somewhere would
have made the scene more lively. Furthermore, I think you should have added
about 10% contrast to the scene after you rendered it (it's allowed) - it's a
bit greyish now. Thirdly, I wonder what your scene would have looked like with
some more lights, and maybe just slightly colored. But as it already took 30
hours to render, I think it would maybe be too much for a 486 (aarrghh I need a
Pentium too).

moody, morbid, magnificent. (but a bit off topic?)
Notable for modelling, lighting
