I like the level of detail and the color...feels a bit like Gorod Zero :)

From jerry@hoboes.com:
The lighting in this scene is very nicely done. I think perhaps more could be
done to make it look like it is underwater.
=====
From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com:
Very precise image with a lot of detail.  The bubbles are especially
impressive.

From jasondinger@hotmail.com:
 wow! this is great! it takes a lot to make a monocromatic picture look good,
and
this goes way beyond that! this is fantastic! definitely one of the best!

From amason@cs.uct.ac.za:
nice composition!
good use of (lack of) colour. some colour might be nice though, if 
well used. don't use pure grey - it looks too unlikely.
the bubbles and sub model rock.
diver scale is impressive - looks very small compared to sub.
good camera angle.
spherical reflection is a good idea.
nice lights.
background is a bit too bland.

This is NICE.  Those bubbles are awesome.

From justin@scpmcs.org:
Wonderful job. Quite detailed and the lack of color is very appropiate
for the image.

From vogelap@email.uc.edu:
Great 'feel' to this piece.

From schimmler@ica.uni-stuttgart.de:
I really luv it. It look like a scene from Jules Verne.

=====
From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
Very accurate modelling and nice and atmospheric lighting. I like the idea of a
black&white entry.

From pdolan@jps.net:
Great, I love the whole thing!

From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu:
One of my favorite images this round. It has a very Jules Verne/Hugo Gernsback
antique or victorian feel to it. I really liked the bubbles, technically.

From jaime@ctav.es:
I can promise that I've figured this was russian prior to read the txt nor the
name of the author. Believe me! :) Appart from that (I've read some very nice
russian SF), I like it very much, specially the bubbles, are the nice touch.
The B/W idea it's also nice, specially if you think how difficult is to make
a credible undersea blue. Good Luck!
Oh! And ...when I turned off light it looked simply awesome!

From djohnston@iname.com:
I like the greyness of this image. It gives an impression of darkness but
also gives this more a "movie" feel.

=====
From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Excellent!  A wonderful image to look at and study.  Great mix of large-scale
modelling and sharp tiny details.
I really like the greyscale color scheme.  The bubbles are just perfect.
The walking diver is well done.  I am really drawn into this image, wondering
what will happen next...

From ulf.schreiber@gmx.net:
The lights!!!

=====
From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Very rugged and massive. Very 19th century. Very well done. One of the best this
round. The purposeful stride of the Diver is just right for the scene. One
comment though: The water is astonishingly clear!

=====
From chipr@niestu.com:
Stunning use of greyscale, very atmospheric image.  The "underwater" feel
isn't there--it looked like a dirigible.  Excellent effort, however; great
modeling and composition.

From r@slater.ed.edu.jonkoping.se:
Notable for lighting, modelling


=====
From r@dialup-78-168.infoserv.net:
Excellent scene! A complete story goes on even if you haven't read the
description. I love the diver's helmet being so close to the camera, and of
course, the ambient, it's quite original, plain B&W. As far as I'm concerned,
there should be bubbles on the diver's suit, as well.
Notable for composition, lighting, textures

Nice picture..could use some color, though...

From r@tk156239.telekabel.at:
This is one of my favorites. It has a nice kind of 'Jules Verne'-look.
Technically really perfect!
