I wasn't sure how to rate the artistic merit, since the artistic process here
was largely one of reproduction.  However, you have to get credit for the
recognition of artistic meric in the original.  I would have liked to see more
effort in the mountains; these look like a height field, not a mountain range.

Nice image and effects, very difficult to do in Bryce.

From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au:
I like this a lot, in the top half and the bottom quarter. The bad point: The
black hills in the middle ground are just far too black. I had to up the gamma
a lot to see any detail in there at all, and then the rest of the image was
very washed out. But overall this does very well. The foreground details are
excellent. The background looks a bit more jagged than anything in Yosemite
Valley, but not too much so if I assume the spikes on top are pine trees. I
would have liked to see the black and white contrast a little more stark in
both
the background and the foreground, but that's a minor quibble. Very well done.

Very good picture. The horse is a nice touch.
Framed well.  Lighting for the hills could be improved.
Technically I took points away because of the jaggies in 
your mountains.  Either increase the size of the 
heightfield image and smooth it, or do not scale it so 
much.  
The hills really needed to be brighter...either through 
additional lights or brighter texture.
Excellent concept...many layers of contrast

This has an interesting look, although I don't care for 
the solid black through the middle of it.  The tress look 
pretty nice.

Nice attention to detail, such as the grasses and horse.  Very good work. I
find the "black band" a little disconcerting -- is it really so close to
pitch-black in real life?  The overall light level of the bottom 1/4 of the
image is superb.

The mountains in the back are a bit TOO spikey, but I 
guess thats contrast for you :)  The sky is a bit too 
obviously a plane.  A larger texture map could have 
helped there.

The clouds need work, but other than that, this is a very 
good image!

It would have been a good picture it it were not for the black terrain. It
spoils everything.
