===== From chris@bluelectrode.com: Beautiful...although radiosity may have helped create a more realistic tonal background. ===== From clintona@ibm.net: A great, realistic image. I love the choice of colour and layout of the scene. One of my favorites. ===== From trioker@wanadoo.fr: Wonderful job ! ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: very nice, tons of detail, great realism and right on track for theme ===== From YaelParis@operamail.com: The picture is a bit too grainy and I don't like the wood texture. It's sad because it somewhat ruins the wok you did on the path and the vegetation (both are awesome) ===== From emediez@emediez.com: Beautiful and interesting work, and specially, a highly efficient management of resources. Congratulations. ===== From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk: Very appealing with lots of detail and nice textures. The contrast/brightness seems a little strong and the grain of the wood a little odd (I loved it though). ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Very nice, very well crafted. Just that the sunflower petals (the ones close by) seem too flat, a little curve would have enhanced the look of the few that are close to the viewer. The pebbles have a strange colour. A brilliant composition, very natural looking, rather gifted. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Really great! Beautiful, detailed, well composed. Very technical also. Only the sky seems a bit flat compared with the rest of the image detail. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Technical - the flowers you have created are perfect Artistic - pretty good although the image seems to have a slight solarized (?) appearance Theme - definately a garden ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Nice modelling and composition. The sky is a bit blank though and there are some very dark shadows which make it difficult to see anything in those areas. A little but of fill lighting to even out the contrast would help, I think.
