===== From hornberger@provide.net: I know you are new at this stuff. My images ised to look like that. Dont get me wrong, the image looks good for a beginner. Realism is a hard one to master, keep working at it , good luck, i hope to see more of your wok in the future competitions. If you want to look at my image it is called skilled.jpg good day Noah ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Why must the boy mash his face deep into the strawberry?? The image's cuteness almost makes up for its unpleasant simplicity. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Not bad for 2 weeks of using POV! Good concept - I was laughing - it's definitely an unbelievable strawberry. Obviously your skills will improve... the water texture is probably the one thing to work on from this image. ===== From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu: Cute. ===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: Yes, that is an unbelievably large strawberry. A bit too simple for my taste but very good for only two weeks with POV. For improvement I would get rid of the object, what ever it is, in the left foreground. It is distracting and pulls the focus away from the strawberry.
