===== From jerry@hoboes.com: Beautiful sky, great idea. The umbrella and human need something extra; the human especially looks stiff compared to the rest of the scene. Also, what is that thing over on the right? ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: Nice pic, but the umbrella is blocky. There's a nice effect here with the expanse of the ocean. ===== From jasondinger@hotmail.com: why doesn't the painting look like the image? ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: I suppose he had to stop to get a closer look! ;-) Nice them.e ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Very nice setting; the wood texture on the painting tripod is too strong. I would appreciate a few words on how you did what. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Very nice shadows and reflections playing. Good! Perhaps the shore is not very good, but I like the melancholic ambient of the overall scene. It's a pain the lack of any explanation... ===== From Varyk@aol.com: beach looks a bit muddy, or is it supposed to? No docs. Very nice sky. ===== From arcana@sinbad.net: A text description would have greatly added to this image, and it's impact. Of course, art should not necessarily need an explanation. But, it would have been nice to see how you saw this image fitting especially into the water theme. ===== From djohnston@iname.com: Clouds are nice, but the sand looks more like mud. Is this by design? ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Intriguing. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Good concept and image.
