===== From pbourke@swin.edu.au: I liked the general composition of this scene, just enough detail to make things interesting without putting in unrelated objects. Good wood texture on the chair. You were pretty brave attempting a crab. The best dolphins I've seen so far in this competition. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Nice image. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: What a cool image the only thing I would add is a little more graininess to the sand. ===== From bbowen@cswnet.com: Your sPatch Chair cloth actually has 'thickness. Well done. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: There is spirit in there ;-) The sea could do with something a bit better, I think. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Cute but odd... it seems to work in its own simplistic way. The beach chair and the school of porpoises look very good. All the elements work together to form a consistent whole. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: A real fun image, I like it a lot. Hmm the sand could do with a better texture, and area lights under the chair and parasol would be good. It's difficult to find something about this that could be improved, but the sand could definitely do with being a colour map with a few different shades in there. Great work. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: NIce colors, nice textrues and shapes, good composition. The number of lights makes it look like a studio, especially since the horizon goes to black instead of white. Paying attention to the interaction of lines and shapes (including shadows) will make a better picture, usually.
