Nice. I'm impressed, and that's hard to do.

No witty remark here, move along, move along.

From kosh@nesys.com:
A great image, but it would be stronger without the moon,
which detracts from the composition.

From castlewrks@aol.com:
I liked everything except the moon. The shadows on the two mountains give
the impression that your "moon-lite" is between them instead of 240,000
miles behind them.
=====
From agage@mines.edu:
The trees are very well done, as is the aurora effect and the mountain detail.
Good use of height fields.  The moon is a little bizarre -- the part of it in
shadow seems too bright (possibly due to gamma settings).  Also, the light
coming off of the moon onto the mountains makes it look like the moon is much
closer than it should be -- the angles betray the distance the moon should be
from the rest of the objects.  Excellent effect, though.

Yeah! Height_field's for ever!

Great scene! I'll just try to find something to complain about... the snow
looks
very shiny, almost like ice, but perhaps it's supposed to be that way.

From jjanger@mail.cspp.edu:
   GREAT image. I love this one. It's going into my wallpaper dir immediately.

=====
From sanna@censa3.polito.it:
Excellent! The scene show a very high degree of realism and the
artistic interpretation of theme is of very high level.

=====
From dormammu@erols.com:
Very well done.

=====
From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Very artistic. Exceptionally well done. 
The only small criticism we have is of the unnatural light 
on the mountains on the right creating a disconcerting sense 
of unreality.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Magestic.  Quite realistic trees, both near and far.

=====
From uwe.post@gmx.de:
The landscape is looking quiete real.

=====
From djconnel@flash.net:
An ambitious scene!  The mountain is very well done, and
the trees are decently represented. This was an ambitious undertaking!

=====
From cfusner@enter.net:
Using a heightfield for a halo container was a inspired idea. The results
are excellent!

=====
From econoltd@thezone.net:
EXCELLENT job on the trees in this image.  Smart use of a heightfield.  Nice
effect with aurora too.

Excellent image, very good technique.  I like the moonbow and the paintinglike
rendering of the trees.  The red could be just a bit more subtle in the aurora,
and the snow is a bit too shiny and slightly plastic.  Minor quibbles.  Well
done.  This comment by clem@dhol.com.
