===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: Object variety is lacking... barnacles, moss, maybe a seashell or two? ===== From pbourke@swin.edu.au: Good colouring with the red and blue, nice reflections. I guess I didn't like the rocks. ===== From luisvaloyes@malditasea.zzn.com: very good to be one of your first images, the sun is really cool... ===== From panthus@xtra.co.nz: Great composition. The water maybe less blue and more clear? ===== From dvnss@mega.ist.utl.pt: Too Reddish!! ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Nice water. Needed something else.... ===== From tony@j4tb.com: Most of your image is realistic and textures look good. The only part that needs work is the clouds. They are a little too red and the light patterning doesn't seem right in them. ===== From bbowen@cswnet.com: I've never seen clouds quite that red... except in armegeddon pics. . . but this is too peaceful for armegeddon. Nice. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: The sun definitely looks unreal and the clouds are not quite there. The sea looks pretty good. Again lack of distant fog. ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: The story and the picture makes me think of Munch. So I will interpret the=20= clouds as expressive. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Kind of a pretty scene. The rock formations look good, although they might benefit from a different texture. The clouds have some dark blotches which could stand to be cleared up. Nice sun. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: This is a great image and very sentimental. But I think you've killed it with ambient light or something. I've tried darkening it but it still looks wrong, maybe you've just got a lot of ambient in the texture of the rocks or something. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Ok, so it is a meaningful scene to you. . . what interest do I have in it, either visually or thematically? What can I gain from the image? ===== From file: Congratulations! Perhaps there could have been more light from behind the camera; the rocks have a flat illumination to them that distracts my eye. The sparkles on the water are nice.
