===== From sammy@cube.net: Hmm... very colourful, but distressingly confusing. One Tip : Try making simpler scenes first. Just one Spaceship, one planet and a sun for example. Stills of Space battles are difficult if you want to avoid confusing the viewer. well ... ok : another tip : Using noise as starfield is fine, however you should use a lower noise level to avoid having the sky looking like a wall. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Far from being my cup of tea. Taste, when you take us ! Maybe someone is going to call that art like those others called the cubism for Picasso art, well, I rated this as I would have rated some of the Picasso of that period : low. Nothing against you personally. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: A bit busy with nothing that captures the attention as the central theme. Last competition we said you should stick to making one really good image instead of two 'okay' images. (or words to that effect). This still holds true. Have a look at photography books or magazines on 'composition'. This will help with the placement (and how many) of objects. ===== From gshaw@monotix.co.za: Colours clash. Try to avoid usins so many bright colours in a scene ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: This looks very cartoony... all the bright colours and simple shapes. Not sure what to suggest... maybe calling it a cartoon! ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: Unless you wanted that effect on the planes, I think they would have been more effective if they were smaller - then you could also have had more planes in the scene. I don't think a single TTF object looks convincing enough, when it's that large in the image. ===== From jull43@ij.net: Even following the bad stuff out of Hollywood it could be more realistic. ===== From r@209.155.62.50: I hate to be cruel, but - why bother?
