From chris@bluelectrode.com:
Everything looks modeled fairly well, although the trees in the background are
obviously grouped spheres, but then again it's "surreal."  A bit too surreal
and pastel for my taste I guess.  I shouldn't have to read the txt file to find
out what the image is about, and that's what I had to do.  You present a
story-book concept with no real meaning behind it.  Any mistakes or lack of
skill I may see could easily be chalked up to 'surrealism' so I'll have to go
with my first reaction.

Sorry if it seems I'm ripping it to pieces.

On the other hand the middle tree looks good, and you utilized the focal blur
well.  The emerald looks good, although I still don't know why it's there.  It
doesn't seem to be emitting any light even though you said to think of it as
the "sun shining over the scene," or where you being poetic;)

Overall, not bad.

That's original but it look too artificial for me. It needs more work on the
textures.

From rbyman@rockies.net:
Not so much surrealistic as confusing. Just a mess of include files thrown
together

Lightning is very poorly introduced to scene.
Nice use of focal blur.

Bit of a jamboree. A simpler, decisive theme would have been better. Seems
rather bright. The forground trees are very nice.

From ameede@madmac.com:
Your concept is good, and this is a difficult concept to to work with I feel. 
However, the work appears to me that you had and idea of were you wanted to
place a couple of specific objects.  From there, you then tried to fill-in to
complete the composition. Your use of space was confined to foreground and
middle ground, this is OK, but there is no visual movement other than a
left-to-right reading of objects, there is no in-and-out reading.

From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
Interesting concept, not very pleasing to the eyes, but that may be
intentional.

I find the containers' edges to be too simple by comparison with the rest of
the
scene, again you'll probably advocate that this is the intention, but it
strikes
as something incomplete (to me). Some very subtle texture may have provided an
effect I would have appreciated.
Otherwise there is good use of multiple depths, the space is well utilised,
maybe too much.

Technical - not bad, but more fabriction of parts by yourself would have been
better
Artistic - well.........
Theme - nice attempt, on theme

A very odd juxtaposition of realistic trees and surreal landscape - I'm not
really sure it works as an overall image. I like the fringe of leaves at the
top
in the very foreground.
