This looks like the area where the roadrunner and Wiley Coyote live.

Flowers and bees could not have been more excellently done!
Surroundings are a bit plastic, lowering your score. Perhaps fog could have
helped, perhaps ravine is too few "units" deep!

From d97ta@efd.lth.se:
the precipice does not seem steep at first glance. in fact, i
was wondering why the river was so thin, and did not realize that
the river was hundreds of meters down. you need to add some more depth
cues, i think. put some object near the river to give it scale,
or use a fog.

From stubbs@dundee.net:
nicely composed, and colors attractive.  the aliasing of the heightmap somewhat
distracting

From buck@cs.byu.edu:
I like the bees and the floower.  Very nice.  The flower, however, seems
to be embedded in the rock--the leaves, too.  Also, the height-field
below looks kind of pixellated.  Nice, tho--i like the river running
through the canyon.

From jaime@ctav.es:
Very nice ide and composition. But textures are a bit dull, and the water seems
a bit violet.

From djconnel@flash.net:
Interesting perspective, and nice use of the bees!

However, it needs a little more optimization.
The texturing is too plastic on the flower and plant.  The ground looks
like rock.  The water isn't flowing along its path.  And it is hard to
gauge the depth of the canyon. 

More use of lighting, crand finish and finer texture and darker
color on the dirt, more use of normals, and this could be a really
solid image.

From bill@apocalypse.org:
The flower is very neat, but the rest of the image is at a lower level.

=====
From fisher2@pobox.upenn.edu:
What would have helped with getting a sense of scale in the images would
have been a ground fog in the ravine.  Otherwise I can't really tell wether
the ravine is just inches or hundreds of feet deep.  The leaves of the
flower are lacking in detail perhaps an image map in conjunction with a
bump map to show some sort of vein structure in the leaf.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
When I look down a precipice at the water, I see dark brown, not bright blue. 
Is your water really reflecting the sky properly?  Or is it just colored blue,
which is of course incorrect?  Flower leaves should not be cutting through the
ground.  Very unusual dual stream in the river.  The bees are quite realistic,
in both modelling and texture.
Have you tried using focal blur on this scene?

From r@fermi.lancs.ac.uk:
The leaves are great but need texturing as they look a bit plastic. The
background is a bit too red and lacks the depth it ought to have for a gorge.
Otherwise excellent.
Notable for composition, modelling
