pitty about the very "flat" texture of HST's bottom

From djconnel@flash.net:

Nicely done!!! I especially like the foil.  Only one small issue :
shouldn't the sun be there somewhere?  Still, I am quite impressed --
this is one of the best satellite shots I've seen.

The only issue is it doesn't really stress "engineering" as its
subject as much as many of the entries... it is an engineering
achievement, but without further explanation, doesn't seem
as though it would belong on an engineering textbook cover,
for example.

Great rivets.  The reflection of the earth is wonderful.

From agage@mines.edu:
Both sides of the object seem to be lit, by the shadows and color -- kinda hard
to do in space!  I suppose the nearer side could be light reflected from the
earth, though.

From sonya_roberts@geocities.com:
Mmmm...VERY nice...I like how the earth is present only as a reflection in the telescope itself.

From kosh@nesys.com:
Why 2 versions?
The other one is a much better composition.
Modeling is incredible.

From chipr@niestu.com:
Nice hubble.  A couple  of spots on it were a bit too smooth--the textures are
better suited to the scale of your other version.  I like the composition of
this one better than the other one, but would have liked to see the Earth in
the background of this one.  I *loved* that Earth in the other one!!

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Fine modelling, lighting, and composition.
Far better than your other entry because of the strong
reflection of Earth in the metal -- this gives a lot of
context and interest to the image.

From bobfranke@halcyon.com:
Not sure why you entered this, when the other version is so much better, IMHO.

From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
I like the reflexion of the earth on the telescope.

From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Very effective image!

=====
From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
Is the HST really as reflective as that? And are the solar panels brown?
I quite like the image as a whole, but the solar panels work best when they
are perpendicular to the sun rays ;)

From lpurple@netcom.com:
Excellent modelling, textures, and lighting.

From r@cust160.webbernet.net>:
I like the metal texture, the rivets and especially the Earth in reflection.  The solar panels, however, do not hold up to the rest of the image.
