===== From bill@apocalypse.org: nice work, though the scene may have too much in it. It lacks focus. ===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: Wow!! I could have sacraficed a goat and my first entry would not have looked near as good as yours. Wonderful work. ===== From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk: An impressive picture - unfortunately I'm not voting on technique in this round. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: That is a very nice looking garden although the rainbow does not look right (too sharp, too bright in a bright blue sky, not very realistic, the clouds seem a bit thin for a storm ... and for a rainbow). The trees are pretty good (in the distance). I like the colours and layout and curves. The rock texture may require more attention. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: For a first entry, this is very impressive. You clearly have the technical skills to go a long way, and this is quite a pleasing composition with plenty of detail. About all I can suggest is that the colours are bit too saturated and the objects and layout a little too regular to give an impression of realism. Apart from that, fantastic job.
