From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com:
A basic representation of water and earth.  The addition of chairs and ball 
hurts the theme.  I found the sand texture to be 'rocky', but I could believe
it
would hold the shapes that it does.  Water and clouds are nice.

Your picture could be named "Elements of life". Great feeling of a place where
parents and child spent their afternoon until the evening. I particulary like
the chair objects, and stone texture. Nice composition !

YOU really should have rotated the image for us... I have no tools to turn it
90degrees

Why is it sideways?

From skywise@fix.net:
Possibly the best-looking image this round... Lacking a bit conceptually,
though, unless I'm not getting something...

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Pleasant image, although I have to turn my head sideways to see it.
Good attention to detail, such as the hardware on the chairs.

From manorton@tcnet.net:
Next time make the image fit the right orrintation please.  You will not get
a good score if we have to work to flip it corectly.  A shame to cuase its a
nice image.

Nice RDS work!!!

However, the sideways orientation isn't really the way to go, IMHO.
The contest is arranged so all images are viewed in landscape,
so portrait really isn't optimal.

From bill@apocalypse.org:
The image has a scale-model quality to it.  The texture of the rocks
(which look great) have a that quality to them.

From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Le lien avec le theme n'est pas evident...
J'aime bien les chaises et le ciel.
Composition un peu legere, et impression d'aliasing tres fort sur les rochers et
surtout sur l'eau.
Joli quand meme :-)

I liked what you did with the water texture.

Interesting scene cood color balance however the the sky seems so opressive and
almost chokes the scene.
