===== From jerry@hoboes.com: "Oh happy sin of Adam". ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Are there candelobras on the tree? I don't understand this. No problem with "real history" like Genesis, but not inspiring interpretation either. ===== From jull43@ij.net: Look, I can forgive the branch as the apple and the hand are excellant! But the snake with the cartoon eyes? That ruins it. And that puts my attetion on the two "chandeliers" ( I do not see flowers) on the tree trying to figure out what I am supposed to be seeing and I give up completely on the artistic composition. ===== From rguillard@claranet.fr: Not really beautiful picture beside the fact that i don't really think we can call "most tragic moment" the momemt when man acquired knoweldge ! ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: The hand is modelled quite nice. You should definitely spend some more time learning about materials and the JPEG file format. The twigs are very shinyas if polished. What are the other weird things hanging from the tree? Placing the light at the same spot as the camera makes for an extremely boring and flat lighting. Use a much higher JPEG quality setting. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Wow, this image has heavy JPG artifacts. Try using less compression when converting to JPG. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: This image of course could be History or not depending on what you believe in. ===== From 101741.541@compuserve.com: Even from a believer point of view, I don't think that a parabolic account may suit a "history" subject. In the same round, look for "abomb.jpg", where the author make a subtle use of the SAME parabola.
