===== From sshaw@fas.harvard.edu: The techincal merit vote is entirely for the head in the foreground; it is very well done, realistic and recognizeable. ===== From Martin.Magnusson.7121@student.uu.se: The statue head is great. Very good modelling, very good texture. Quetzalcoatl himself and the rays are good too, but there's something about the ground. It's too... brown maybe. And not enough medium-sized bumps. There are tiny grains and larger wavy bumps, but I think there should be more irregularities. I hope you see what I mean. ===== From jerry@hoboes.com: Nice! Quetzalcoatl himself looks just a bit plastic. It might also have worked better in the "historical" theme by contrasting or working with what was actually seen as the return of Quetzalcoatl. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Very nice texturing ===== From jull43@ij.net: Where are the feathers on the one in the sky? Where are the pointed teeth on the stone head? Ignoring the mammalian teeth, I like all the bottom half of the picture. It has something between realistic and surrealistic. And if I ignore the lack of feathers in the sky, I like the top half for the same reason.You should have been around when they needed movie posters for "Q". ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: The stone head underneath is _very_ good and really looks like one, but the snake above and the blinding light look a lot like a candy. It's too colorful and too violet to be taken seriously. I also like the parts of the pyramids that are visible and the moss covering them. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Evocative and intriguing. Fine work, particularly on the statue. Good text file, too. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Striking and imaginative image. Maybe 'not quite' history but relationship is there & very well done. ===== From 101741.541@compuserve.com: Topicality on the edge... Aztecs are an interesting subject, and their mythology could be an important part of the image, but not as if it actually happened. Aztecs practicing cult in front of a Quetzal' representation would be better... ===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: Impressive modeling on the foreground statue. ===== From r@pluto.icom-solutions.com: Really liked the lighting and use of colour in this. Notable for lighting ===== From r@ppp20.rtn.net.mx: I am AMAZED with your knowledge about Quetzalcoatl and Teotihuacan, looking at the picture almos makes me feel like being there, The image would be PERFECT if u had included the pyramid of the sun, I am drooling... this is my winner Notable for composition, textures, lighting, modelling, originality ===== From r@dialup81-1-37.swipnet.se: Notable for composition, textures, lighting, modelling
