This would have been visually great if you had textured the capitol building.

From loomsbury@yahoo.com:
I like the story, but I just don't understand why people use other people's models, and none of their own.

From pmccombs@hotmail.com:
Great pic and interesting story, but it only seems remotely on topic (if that).

=====
From jaime@ctav.es:
Very original subject! Nice focus on proportions. Great!

From scarmig@ohmss.com:
While I absolutely love this picture and can only cite the flaws you already know about (penny looks a little too flat, the edges of the penny texture are extruded) I have trouble relating this wonderful work to the theme of 'city', even in an abstract form.  Know that while your text file makes a good reference (and a good story too!) to the theme, that reference is hard to find from the image alone (looking at it in a museum I would never know it was about the city).

From tony@j4tb.com:
I think both the capital and the penny look excellent. Considering the date on the penny. I would expect it to be fairly clean and free of nicks. The backgound pennys seem to 'ghost'. I like the wood and the glossy finish. It adds a realistic touch. The biggest issue about the composition is that it seems to be a streach of the theme.

From whhale@nvl.army.mil:
Very loosly connected with the theme.  Dont get me wrong...I think the image is beautiful.  I just feel it would have been better suited to an art or construction theme.

Focal blur isn't everything

From Stickgod01@aol.com:
That's an interesting story. Building doesn't look silver enough. Great penny's and focal blur.

Very nice concept and the modeling is great.

Be very careful about scanned images of US money.  
The US Secret Service can be VERY humorless.  It 
looks REAL good tho.

From tonyv@iafrica.com:
Some wonderful modelling. But it does not belong to this topic.

=====
From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au:
A nice image, with an impressive model, but this is neither a picture of
the city, nor a picture of a model of a city.

=====
From peter@table76.demon.co.uk:
It looks very nice, but one building doesn't make a city :-( .

little bit OT, but nice work, esp. coin-texture
Notable for modelling, originality, textures
