===== From cmorack@relex.com: Night is either very bright in those parts of the world, or the bats are running from a giant spotlight from an unseen alien craft looking down in the barn. Wow, a whole new spin. ===== From agage@mines.edu: Nice bats. ===== From jjanger@mail.cspp.edu: Great job with the bats. ===== From dormammu@erols.com: This doesn't really seem to be a night picture, and could use a lot more detail. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: An interesting image that conveys the atmosphere as intended. A very good first full image. The wood grain could have been somewhat less conspicuous. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Good animation of the bats' positions. ===== From djconnel@flash.net: The bats are very nicely done, and the composition is quite good. However, the texturing of the wood needs a lot more work. The broken glass is a very nice touch -- your picture has a lot of potential with some more work. ===== From cfusner@enter.net: A very good interpretation on the theme. The only logical flaw is the light streaming in the windows. From the angle and intensity, it seems like noon, in which case, these bats should be hanging from the rafters sleeping by now. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: For some reason, the lower left bat looks best to me. They're all quite good though. ===== From r@dial-up30.webbernet.net: The concept is good, although it does not look very nightlike through the window. The composition is ok. The silhouette bats work, but detailed bats would have been good too. The background detail and textures need a lot of work. This comment by clem@dhol.com.
