===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: Some flotsam would add realism (and needed object variety) to your scene. ===== From pbourke@swin.edu.au: Good concept, the flags didn't work for me. Like the sea and waves and light play.... ===== From dvnss@mega.ist.utl.pt: Though messageless, it is excelent ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Interesting concept. The image is well done. The black and gray stones perhaps needed to vary a bit... to be more realistic. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: A rather abstract scene. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Extremely original. ===== From angelaperry@webcombo.net: This pictured scored high all around. It was very original, very well done, and conveyed meaning beyond the surface of the work (an important point of art, I believe). I agree that the metal needs a little something, but I am far from being an expert, so I'm afraid I have no useful suggestions (sorry). Needless to say, this is one my favorite pictures. Good luck! ~A. Perry ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Certainly a great concept and an artistic vision. I would have been more impressed if you actually had modelled the gramophone yourself though. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Very interesting interpretation of the siren concept. The gramaphone looks very good, and the water looks nice, especially with the rocky layer beneath it showing through. Nice work on the shaping of the flags, although I don't feel the flags themselves really help develop the concept of the scene. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: That gramaphone model looks like a typewriter from behind. For me the image doesn't tell the story very well, my first impression was what's a typewriter doing playing football in the water, the flags remind me of goal posts. This one just didn't work for me. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: A beautiful image, based on a clever concept. The water and pebbles look great. Let down a little by the stuff-looking flags. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Copying ideas and images must have let you focus on composition, since this is a nice image. The wave diagonals going to the top-left are nicely offset by the darker digonals going toward the top-right. The similar values of the colors are nicely balanced by the shadows and dark wood of the box. The symbolism of the flags is a little odd. Why would a siren plant flags? ===== From file: This image is clearly the work of a brilliant genius. ===== From file: Excellent modelling but other than the water, what does it have to do with the "Sea"? Notable for modelling
