===== From digitalburn@totalise.co.uk: Nice artistically, but a little flat. Needs fog + media perhaps. ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: I don't dock art merit for imported items. I give technical credit only for objects made from scratch, however. ===== From pbourke@swin.edu.au: Almost makes it but not quite. The strong sun reflections put me off and the lack of illumination on the other objects. ===== From luisvaloyes@malditasea.zzn.com: beautiful light-darkness contrast ===== From dvnss@mega.ist.utl.pt: Got too much metallic look! ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Nice color and affects. The horizon is too abrupt and your pelican needed a bump map. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: Your image is well composed and tons of potential. I would tone down the sun a tad. Your water needs a lot of work, use another hight field and some texture. The light house should be on some land even if it is a small island. I would also enlarge the boat it looks like a toy in proportion to the pelican. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Never saw such a perfectly plane sea, that certainly detracts from the image. The over one is distant haze (none there). The sun looks strange too. Over than that the scene is pretty well done. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: The sun and sky look very pretty, and the lighthouse and ship look good. The bird in the foreground has a nice shape, but both it and the rocks have a metallic shine that seems less than natural. The water looks a little bit too smooth and glassy to me. The birds in the distance look good, and add a nice touch to the scene. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: The rocks look like wet mud, maybe you should give them a granite normal, the sea looks unrealistically falt. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: The sky repeats the sun's reflection visually, but there doesn't seem to be much happening beyond that. I'm really undecided whether I like this one or not! The darkness of it is really nice, even though that is unrealistic.
