===== From bfranke2@home.com: Great job of modeling. The texture for the head and tail is better than the rest. The feathers for the rest of the eagle are a bit too smooth. This image got one of my highest scores. ===== From rjhansen@hotbot.com: I like the concept. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: That is the best eagle I have ever seen. Great attention to detail right down to the feathers. Are you sure you're not from the USA? ===== From jd@surveyor.in-berlin.de: Really great! I'm impressed. And on topic, too. My No.1. The only drawback is a bit the touch of a constructed image. ===== From eallen@highway1.com: I like everything in this image except the clouds: they look too flat. Good work. ===== From warp@iki.fi: This image looks very good. You created that eagle model all by yourself with spatch? Remarkable. The textures are also very good. The unusual camera angle is a good detail. Gives a sensation of falling or flying. Good idea. The mountains look excellent. The clouds are perhaps just a bit too flat, but still they look good. Perhaps using some astonishing media clouds like we have seen in many images in the past could have done marvels here. I like this image a lot. Can't find many wrong things here. Perhaps the graininess of the sky bothers a bit. ===== From luisvaloyes@malditasea.zzn.com: nice model ===== From dmacisaacj@hotmail.com: Awesome eagle, not liking the sky so much, but that eagle... ===== From mark.wagner17@gte.net: The camera angle on this image is very disconcerting. ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: impressive landscape, interesting perspective, good work on the bird even though it's image mapped ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: That bird will make an excellent feature to some other scene. For this round, it doesn't stand out from the group of nature topic submissions, although I admit that the bare landscapes are still more common. ;-) ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: The eagle is excellent... breath-taking, actually. The mountains look great too. I'm not sure the sky measures up to the other elements in terms of realism, though, and takes away from the overall impact of the picture. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Super dramatic viewpoint almost makes me dizzy. Amazing detail on the eagle. The sky, however, seems distracting and doesn't match the lighting on the eagle and mountains. ===== From file: Very nice modelling and texturing on the eagle.
