Very COOL.  I love your ark.  I hope you included the source.  :-)  Id also
like to see the source file for the image on your web page, it would make a
great poster for church.

From jerry@hoboes.com:
Well, you certainly can't get more water-oriented than the great flood!
This is a great idea for an image.

Technically, the rain and the clouds are really well done. The ark is a bit
odd--is it submerged at all? It doesn't look like it's displacing any water
or even going below water level at all. The rainbow is a bit too evenly
centered.

Artistically, I love it: the juxtaposition of the rainbow, the ark, and the
ruined city really is a great choice. I didn't realize it *was* the city
down there, though, until I read your description; perhaps if you could
come up with some way to emphasize the hedonistic nature of the city that
led to its destruction?

 the sky looks like it has been HEAVILY post-processed.

nice ark model.
underwater city is great, but I want to see more of it. It's not totally
clear what it is. 
composition is great, although maybe the rainbow should be a bit to the
right? water looks a bit shallow.
rain works very well, clouds are nice.

From pmccombs@hotmail.com:
That is some great rain.

From justin@scpmcs.org:
Good concept and effective rain. I also like that there is a story behind
the image beyond the easy one everyone would assume.

From bonsalva@bellsouth.net:

Excellent feeling of flooded civilization.

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
Quite a nice one. A few notes: The shape of the ark looks rather like a small
rowing boat, remember that the ark's only purpose was to float, not to move in
the water. The camera angle also suggests that it is a rather small ship. I
would also imagine that a larger percentage of the ark was under sea
level.

From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu:
Ark looks more like a barge, but otherwise the image is better than average.

From jaime@ctav.es:
Very good reflection-refraction balance (not an easy thing, IMHO). Rain is also
good but seems to be half-rainning only in upper part, but it looks very very
nice for a "some planes" solution.

From Varyk@aol.com:
We can assume was an Act of God, but most normal rainbows don't appear wh=
ile it's still overcast and raining, and if the sun is breaking out (as s=
hown by the lightin of the ark) then it should appear opposite to the sun=
 (off to the left somewhere) and since it is the light refracting through=
 the drops of water to you eyes that makes the rainbow, the arc of the ra=
inbow will never wrinkle and shift as you show it.  It's not behind the r=
ain; it appears in front of your eyes after reflecting and refracting off=
 of the droplets of water.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
The ark has wonderful textures.  But at first, I didn't recognize it as the ark:
with few size references in the scene, and the camera location, it looks like a
small rowboat.  Good rain effect.  A difficult concept to execute well.  Good
effort.

From ulf.schreiber@gmx.net:
The underwater temple or whatever seems to be centimeters under the
surface (assuming the ark to be only normal boat size). Otherwise
(bigger ark, deeper temple) the water looks just too clear. 

Convincing rain. 

Obviously god had a spotlight on the ark. Understandable, as there
wasn't much other to see on earth at that time.

=====
From chipr@niestu.com:
Cool image.  The rain effect is interesting, and *almost* works.  I like the
boat and the sunken structure.

From r@tk156239.telekabel.at:
I like this image. The rain is great, the ark model also, but I think in real
water you couldn't see a sunken city, that gives the whole scene a wrong scale,
like if it was tiny model of the ship. I don't know if this was intedned.
