===== From nijman@nmtrix.com: Nice UFO.... ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: With exception of sand, everything has a nice texture and color and looks really believable. ===== From jgoeson@msn.com: You should have stayed with just the tree growing in the desert. The UFO is distracting. Also, I can't really make out the sun glasses (too small). Interesting picture. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Very nice tree... should be a great macro when it's finished. Sand texture good, but maybe some more colour would improve it. Cute ship and alien. ===== From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu: I like the spaceship! It's simultaneusly alien, yet conveys a 1950's travel trailer feel. The tree shows that it took a gazillion polys. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Pretty good broad-leaf tree. Ship looks like a futuristic vacation home. ===== From clem@dhol.com: Clever. Funny. Topicality iffy, but there. To me the unbelievable thing is the giant Zen gardener who raked the desert! ===== From jull43@ij.net: Just another fantasy image. ===== From sdevet@istar.ca: Very cute! Love the alien and ship! Sand seems a bit off, both in texture and in tree transition. ===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: Cute image, I like the beach umbrella and the tree is very good. I am looking forward to see your finished tree macro. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: I like that flying saucer :-) .
