===== From agage@csee.usf.edu: Excellent wings on the dragon flies, and nice composition overall. The message is a bit bleak, but hey, that's life. ===== From witoslaw@kki.net.pl: The water does not look much like water... In the beginning I thought it was a sky! And where is the sky, by the way? ===== From jerry@hoboes.com: Sounds like it would make a good animation. Your lilypads look like they would make some very good shells... but the dragonflies are quite well done. I'm not sure how you'd make the detail of the backstory come out in the image, but it is obvious that *something* has just happened where the bubbles are and the ripples are centered. Perhaps a piece of the female dragonfly should float to the top? (Unnecessary, of course, in an animation where we saw her eaten.) ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: Great idea. Too bad we can't see the fish with the dragon fly in it's mouth under the water. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: One of the highest concept scores. Excellent dragonflies, but rest of construction is inconsistent in quality. ===== From pmccombs@hotmail.com: Good dragonflies. ===== From paul.flanzy@jouy.inra.fr: Very nice thanks ===== From schimmler@ica.uni-stuttgart.de: The atmosphere of your picture is amazing! I like those dragonflies especially the wings. Great pic! ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: You finally managed to do an excellent job on the dragonflies! ===== From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu: Well done dragonflies. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Hmmmm... strange and nice. Very good dragonflies. I can only dislike a bit with the overall color (blue-violet) but that's matter of taste... ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: What, no legs/antennae? But the wings are superb. The flowers are good, but I don't like the puddles of water in the center of some of the lilypads. I'm sure the radiosity helps the final image. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: An excellent image. Water lilies are very good. ===== From r@tk156239.telekabel.at: Notable for lighting, modelling, composition, originality ===== From r@tk156239.telekabel.at: This is my winner! Perfect!
