From chris@bluelectrode.com:
Well, it has a cat so I'll have to give it high scores;)

Overall, it turned out well, although I think it could have used more color.  I
liked the stripped freshly trimmed lawn effect.

Good job.

From clintona@ibm.net:
The realism is astounding.  I love the grass effect, and the modeling is great
too.

From bill@apocalypse.org:
sharp and attractive

From soulmates@gci.net:
You know, the cat's not bad. Except.. Well.. What's with 
the seam running down it's middle? :{)

From YaelParis@operamail.com:
The only noticeable default is in the top right of the picture the grass is too
"wavy". The sundial is maybe too perfect, I advice adding some defaults in the
stone using CSG. The edge are not natural.

Did your cat recently have surgery

From tlyons@gnn.com:

nice cat!!!

From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk:
Lots to like, but the cat needs some hair, and the stonework some
weathering. I like the stripe.

From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
The grass looks impressively realistic and I like the way you cut through the
grass and soil to plant your sundial.
The paved area is good looking too, but I'm not attracted by the rest much.
Well
OK, the rake is nice.
I think the pots are not as well done as the cat (too much reflection, maybe
you
used plastic ?).
Finally it is a technical challenge, but it lacks art.

From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Very nice, a good piece of spring in winter!
There is a strange artifact on your cat, which could have been avoided IMHO
using some algorithmic texturing.
The lawn-mower traces are strange and not realistic at all: they should be wider
and turn around the sundial.

From albiaprime@aol.com:
Technical - wow!  full marks! good work
Artistic - nicely balanced
Theme - nice lawn, but it could be anywhere so half marks for theme

From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au:
The grass turned out very nicely indeed. This is about the best grass I've seen
in a rendering. Good atention to detail shown eveywhere in this image. Just a
few
criticisms: The pots and sundial could use some layered textures to make them
look
a little bit dirty, and I think a bed of flowers along the paving edge, or
around
the sundial base would add a great deal to the composition, which is a litle
bare.
