===== From scooby@pld.com: Great concept. Not altogether difficult or artistically appealing, however. ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: The heater and heater elements are awesome! I like the background pattern on the walls as well. A good image with a lot to look at without being cluttered. ===== From tlyons@gnn.com: yes! the picture not the words!!!! ===== From gmol@my-dejanews.com: Very good! ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Lots of creative work here, but the final image leaves me unmoved. Look at the image outside the scope of the IRTC. Ask yourself why these objects would be together in a scene. Finding as many interpretations of the theme as possible does not produce a great image. It produces a collage of unrelated elements (npi, sorry). My favorite part is the stacked metal blocks. They are precise, informative, well-arranged. ===== From djconnel@flash.net: Completely non topical. Just kidding.... this is perhaps the most overkill-topical image I've ever seen :). Nicely done! There's really too much here to comment fully. It is amazingly eclectic, almost to the point of chaos. It would be nicer, perhaps, if there was more coherence to the image to tied the disparate objects together, but clearly you were trying for the effect you achieved, so this is a matter of taste. Everything is well done. However, I would work a bit on the media. The steam should spread and fade with height, I think. And the flames all look too similar -- two forks at the top. But these are small corrections -- overall , I really like it! ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: I wouldn't dare argue about the "topicality" of such a picture! Technically, a small point: I think some textures (ground and outer part of the heater) seem scaled too wide. ===== From ekennedy@voyager.net: Definitely on-topic, but the kitchen-sink approach compromises artistic merit, in my opinion.
