Wicked. My only complaint is the jetty or whatever it is sticking out into the
water Excellent water texture + tsunami.

=====
From elvish_archer@mailcity.com:
I like the concept but on technical the tsunami's shape is too perfect

=====
From darwallace@earthlink.net:
I'd try to introduce more variation in the altitude of the wave along its
length.

=====
From pbourke@swin.edu.au:
Almost powerful...the perfectness of the wave is a bit unnatural.
I though the plane was fluff until I read the connection in text.

=====
From wagner-michael@web.de:
Das mit dem Tsunami ist eine gute idee. Allerdings ist die Riesenwelle etwas zu
gerade. Etwas unregelm__iger w_re besser. Trotzdem ein sehr gutes Bild.
Good interpretation of theme. The Tsunami should be more irregular. A very nice
pic.

From panthus@xtra.co.nz:
I really like the play of diagonals and the bold colours. The foreground water
is the best I've seen, sinking and swelling beautifully. The foreground boat
riding the swell, the bobbing bouys and the lapping water on the wharf are
exceptional. Strange to say but if the tsunami wasn't there I would still like
this just as much. A winner.





=====
From dvnss@mega.ist.utl.pt:
whoa!! Really cool. But the wave is too big and regular, and has no connection
with the rest of the scene.

I would rather be hell away from that beach!!

=====
From marlo.steed@uleth.ca:

You choose a difficult scene to texture.  The grey and green of the peer looks
artifical.  The wave is not too bad but shouldn't the wake be at the top of the
wave rather than the bottom?
=====
From tony@j4tb.com:
Your lighting is well place and your water is a good color and texture. The
balls and boat add a nice touch. The only problem here is scale. It doesn't
give you the feel of a huge wave. Your wave should also have more of a hook
shape and some foam at the top.

=====
From gregj56590@aol.com:
Nice irony with the sign.  Superb image. Many details are perfect.
Minor minor problem: would a tsunami be that smooth?
Larger minor problem: spottled algae on steps is too highly demarcated.
=====
From nitschk@ranke.be.schule.de:
Very good looking water, esp. the big wave.



=====
From whhale@nvl.army.mil:
Really impressed by the detail under the water in the foreground.  The wave is
just a bit too regular

=====
From bbowen@cswnet.com:
Except for the tsunami shape, the whole scene has a nice photorealistic quality
to it due in no small part to your great lighting I'm sure. Great work.

=====
From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
Another very good submission.
I would have better understood the image if the massive wave had been
less angular : more smoothly curved.

=====
From jrcsurvey@aol.com:
Beautiful water textures, great sense of realism and innocent calm before th=
e wave. A professional, dramatic effect, with the composition of offsetting=20=
diagonals and tilted camera,... like a movie poster. =20

=====
From husakm@vscht.cz:
Nice idea !! I have never seen an tsunami nd I hpe I never will :)
A bit unrealistic textured molo ...

=====
From StephenF@whoever.com:
Some nice work here.  The wave has a very imposing 
look to it, and the plane and trail are a nice touch.  I 
think the water texture could use a little work to make it 
look better in the foreground.

=====
From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk:
A fantastic image though some things could be improved such as the testure of
the moss on the dock side could be a bit more wet looking, and the sign could
have some signs of rust staining dripping down from the bolts that hold the 
sign to the post.  Some very good texturing.  

=====
From went@netcourrier.com:
Awesome

=====
From delfeld@mailcity.com:
The water with the line bouys looks great.  Lighting is excellent.  I don't much
like the tsunami itself - if it didn't recede all the way to the left, then I
think the image would come together better.


=====
From file:
Almost seems a powerful force, the wave is a bit perfect though.
Notable for modelling, composition, originality

From file:
Scarry subject! The image has strong impact. I wish the tsunami's shape wasn't
quite so uniform, though.
