===== From bill@apocalypse.org: Your imagination awes me. ===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: Definately one of the strangest in this round. ===== From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk: Some good elements, but overall doesn't really work. The sky, if dimmer, could be very nice. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: I like the colours in the sky, I enjoyed the poem, the woman is better looking than a lot of 'more realistic' models I have seen. The ground looks too flat though and the colours in the sand do not seem to reflect the beauty pictured by the poem. The stream's banks are too sharp, something rounder would do a better job. I think the best part of the picture is the sky. The differences in degree of realisation of the different objects makes it look unfinished - they are not all at the same level of representation. Your interpretation of a garden is a bit loose though. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Technical - Nice looking cat and sky Artistic - Okay Theme - an odd interpretation of the theme ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: I have to give you a high mark for concept - although not a classical garden this a neat and surreal idea. Unfortunately the execution is not up to the idea. The background and sky are fine. The limes need a bit of colour variation. The sand on the left bank looks osmehow flat compared to the textured sand on the right. The water texture needs some work, and the human figure looks quite cartoony. I think with some work this could be a very interesting image - just not quite there yet.
