===== From chris@bluelectrode.com: A little too simplistic and child-like for my taste, even if that is the effect you were going for. On the plus side, all the colors are there... Oh and a general artistic rule-of-thumb is that colors usually get more darker and the closer they become and lighter the farther away they get. It's too obvious there is a light source right on top of the flower patch...even though the sun is to the distant left. Hmmmm...and should the sun have a shadow on it? I don't remember giving my sun a shadow when I was four;) ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: I liked the cartoony, whimsicle quality of the clouds and sun. ===== From YaelParis@operamail.com: pretty image, sadly the raytracing method remove all the poetry of your interpretation. ===== From klynn@uswest.net: I like the attempt to do a simple kid-like image, especially the sun and clouds! ===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: I understand what you are trying to do but when I look at it all I can think of is that I am waiting for Mario or Luigi to start hopping onto the screen ===== From ianshumsky@hotmail.com: A great concept, and I *do* like the cloud! ===== From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk: I like this, and as I'm not scoring for technique it rates quite high. A clear concept executed consistently and well. I wondered if the cloud and sun might not be better bigger? ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: What I like here : the cloud is just fnatastic. The sun is pretty good as well, but not as good. I also like the little details like the sign and the imprint on the watering can. I'm not sure I like the perfectly aligned rows though, or the perfectly centered pitch. The shadow would have been much nicer if it came from the sun, yes it can be done and still have a sun that looks pretty similar to what it is now. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Technical - not to complex Artistic - cute, nicely balanced Theme - definitely on topic, ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: From the text file it seems you were aiming at a child-like image, and I have to say in that context this is a very successful image. Unfortunately, this is also clearly not a difficult image technically. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: I liked the unusual child-like approach.
