===== From agage@csee.usf.edu: The water reacts well to the light, but the moon seems a bit sharp. ===== From nels1678@tc.umn.edu: Nice, but too dark... ===== From xeo@home.com: Water looks very good, though I don't like the darkness; perhaps a few scatter lights aboard the ship would look better? ===== From witoslaw@kki.net.pl: The ship is not very realistic although water is. The problem is with the moonlight. It gives too sharp a shadow and (much more important) the moon is too close! The shadow of the ship is very unnatural!!! ===== From manorton@tcnet.net: Very nice water ===== From jerry@hoboes.com: Purty! Very nicely done; perhaps the island (I don't see a mountain range?) could have more islandness to it; looks more like a sandbar to me. ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: Nice! I like the effects of the moon. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Poor lighting and/or contrast. ===== From vogelap@email.uc.edu: This piece has a great mood and very natural feel. I might have added some diffuse lighting to soften the shadows from the moon (especially the shadow of the sails on the water). ===== From jamez@xover.ml.org: don't dare to use LW for that kinda crap again. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Quite nice, but why is the ship lit from the camera's side where we can clearly see the moon on the opposite side? I think the sky is too swirly and strongly textured. ===== From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu: The ship seems very out of scale, toylike. In particular, the bowsprit is far thicker than it would be on a ship that size. ===== From mmandl@aol.com: The use of your name distracted from the nice image. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Beatiful moonlight and sea surface. The ship is not bad, you know, but needs work. ===== From Varyk@aol.com: Nice, simple, romantic. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Some areas (like the shadows) seem to have sharply defined edges, while other areas (like the sails) seem to be blurry. ===== From jesse@kesmai.com: At the risk of repeating what other judges will say: "It is too dark!" I looked at the image after doing a bit of gamma correction, and it looks much better. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: A nice image.
