===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: This is certainly not your regular Bryce image, very cleaver and creative. A beautiful image, but the connection to the topic seems contrived. I gave a high artistic score. ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: Artistically beautiful and very well done, but the relation to theme is tenuous without the text. ===== From djconnel@flash.net: This is a nice, abstract image.... not at all typical Bryce stuff. However, I see no "first encounter" here.... ===== From east103@dialaccess.com: Nice blues. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Colourful and artistic. However without reading the text it is a mystery. ===== From blaineholmes@hotmail.com: Nice scene. It appeals to me. ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: I thought it was something about the "making" of a new being, and was ready to give a good theme mark... Anyway the picture looks nice. ===== From clem@dhol.com: Sorry. I don't see a fleet of attacking ships. I see a somewhat pretty watery abstract. (Why are so many abstract images predominantly blue?) Perhaps that swirly thing reflected in the bubbles is supposed to be the mother ship, but if so it just doesn't work. Some potentially interesting technique, but it doesn't do the job here. To repeat one of my favorite mantras, "The *picture* should tell the story." ===== From jaime@ctav.es: I really like it. Don't ask why...
