===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: Problem #1: Unrealistic skin color. Gray is for corpses. Problem #2: Lack of object variety. I give technical merit points for demonstrating the ability to make and use many different kinds of objects. An "object photo" such as this will therefore take a hit. ===== From pbourke@swin.edu.au: Excellent representation of a dynamic scene. Not a bad person except for the head. ===== From wagner-michael@web.de: Hallo Guitta, das ist ein nettes Bild. Das Wasser sieht gut aus. Nice picture. The water looks great. Greetings, Michael ===== From panthus@xtra.co.nz: Good water effect and I like the hand and wave following each other. The surfer looks a little cleancut and concentrated. ===== From dvnss@mega.ist.utl.pt: Very interesting use of tools. Surf's up, dude!! ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Nice image, like the water spray. The skin looks a bit like plastic... ===== From tony@j4tb.com: Your surfer looks quite nice however the water seems more like a sea spray than water. I like your clouds too. ===== From bbowen@cswnet.com: Maybe a little less compression on the jpg next time, eh? I like your unique approach to modelling turbulent water. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Interesting concept that of a sea of cloud taken literally ;-) ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Nice job of posing on the figure, and the water effects are interesting. Overall, though, it just has a very messy feel to it that doesn't really appeal to me. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: This is quite a striking image, and some interesting methods used. But it falls dow a bit on textures, the clothes should look more wet, and the skin isn't right (even for wet skin), and the hair looks plastic. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Good work with the water and placement. I'm bored with the picture, though, partly because of the theme, and partly because visually there no reason for some of the lines, colors, and spaces.
