The lighting of this scene is fantastic.  The modeling of 
the church is also very good.  For me the texture of the 
walls is nearly perfect, too bad you can't claim it as your 
own.  The texture could be improved by adding some 
roughness, it's a bit smooth and noticably tiled on the 
columns.  For me the only real flaws are in Tarrock's left 
forearm and his right hand appears faded.  All in all a 
very nice image.

Stunning.  More lighting might be appropriate, but indirect only.  Perhaps
colored light from a source behind the stained glass. (A spotlight through the
window falling on the crucifix?)

I like the lighting effects in this scene and the pose of the knight is
perfect!

From dick@buckosoft.com:
Very nice picture.  I don't think you quite pulled off the 
topic
in the pic though.  After reading the test, yes i 
understand,  but i still
don't see it in the pic.  Perhaps if there was more of a 
focused "divine" spotlight
on the king.

Fantastic image.  really excellent.  the skin and hair doesn't look right, but i
dont know what you can do to change it.  The high detail stain-glass window is
great, and i am always a sucker for great-looking stone walls

Impressive.  Superb lighting.  Powerful image.

Artistically a beautiful image but it is off topic.

From tina@tezcat.com:
This scene reminds me strongly of a character on a MUSH I play on. 
Made me all sentimental-like.

From djconnel@flash.net:
Nicely done scene!!!  I don't see that it says a lot about 
"first encounter",
but it is quite a strong image.

Very artistic

From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Very well done image. Good composition, lighting and 
detail. However, without the text easy to miss the 
relevance to subject.

"Simplicity is the goal, Textures are the key"
don't agree, LIGHT is the key.  light brings nuances into
the textures and define space.  You really should work 
in that
area. Your 2 images suffers from a light passing trough, 
but illuminating
nothing, so the scene doesn't really comes to life.

Great job on the textures.  Love the stone and the stained glass.

From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Good idea and point of view. Background texturing is nice, but the foreground is
highlt perfectible.
I could not find any setting to get a correct lighting.

From clem@dhol.com:
The comparatively simplistic looking Poser guy clashes 
with the excellent detail of the church.

Simplicity truly leads to perfection. The only thing I'd change would be the
armor sleeve, which currently looks like rubber.
Notable for composition, lighting, originality, textures
