===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: Well this is certainly an odd little fellow, nice job. Is Bony an alien or is this our future? Everything is very well done. Even though you say the plant positions are random, they appear to be in rows. I especially like the effect of the bombed out buildings in the background. ===== From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu: Cute. The logo on the bomb made me think it was a much larger spaceship at first, though. ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: Great pic, especially the appearance of movement by the alien. I really like the way the sand has been disturbed by the bomb. The large plants look plastic and regular, some variety in size, color and placement would help. ===== From caleb@chemeng.uct.ac.za: Nice ! ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: I'm glad you decided to avoid the cheesy approach. ;-) ===== From djconnel@flash.net: Interesting! This has a lot of really positive elements. The sand is quite good, especially where it abuts the bomb. The identical plants are a bit distracting, though, and the sky could use a little more. Still, this is a really solid entry! ===== From east103@dialaccess.com: I think the bomb dosen't fit the style of the rest of the picture. Nice alien though. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Quite a charming image. Well done. The background buildings set the scene exactly. ===== From blaineholmes@hotmail.com: Cute idea. I like the nuke, shape and textures and the city in the back is awesome. ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: One of the very few good SF visions of the theme. ===== From arcana@sinbad.net: Hmm... Excellent use of fog. It eliminates the need to fill in a lot of detail. Of course, the detraction is that it leaves the scene looking a little blank. Beyond that, the biggest thing I would have changed would be the placement of the plants. It's hard to imagine them naturally lining up so perfectly. ===== From r@haka.saunalahti.fi: Great idea and implementation, but the image does look kind of dull. Some clouds in the sky and maybe mountains in the horizon would've been great finishing touches.
