===== From kantell@qup.com: This gave me the willies! ===== From emediez@emediez.com: Good image, although I see it more as a courage/fear course of action. (However, that's a personal approach from this viewer :-) ) . I think that the space effect in the sky does not match fairly the lower portion of the image. Good work. ===== From charliemc@prodigy.net: Pretty picture. ===== From hgregory3@aol.com: Artistic - A very 'powerful' image. Technical - You did an excellent job on the wall. I think the rain would have looked more convincing if it had been in shorter pieces. At first I thought they were wires or something Concept - The contrast here is very easy to see. ===== From steve@neurotrain.com: A 17 T 16 C 20 Perfectly framed, well lit. Points were lost because of the sky and the model's pose. I have used Poser often and am well aquainted with the it's limitations. But the woman's right hand (especially because is the focus of her movement) really needs to be better. I don't know if you can manipulate the mesh once it is in truespace, but that is what I would recommend. Technically it is a very good picture. The woman's shadow looks wrong...from what you present in the image it should not be there. Also the sash is too uniform..a bunch of different wrinkes should run through it. And again the hands are both unnatural looking. Excellent concept. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Nice work on the wall and collapsing floor. The clouds could use some work, I think, and I'm not sure the gloomy, overcast sky really does a good job of portraying hope. Overall, though, a nice scene, and a good contrast between the grayness of the top part and the colorfulness of the lower part. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Originally I skipped over this image as not very interesting. When I came back for a second look, I found there was much more to see. The fire and falling stones are the best part of the image. The columns and wall seem to be a cop-out: a way to not have to make a real background for the scene. How about a semicircle of columns, and a hint of a city visible between them? I wish there was more to the scene: an explanation for the fire, an escape path for the girl, a reason for her being here now, something. I like the vertical format of the image, which really shows off the contrast. ===== From hfventer@ing.sun.ac.za: The sky is a bit menacing for the effect you wanted, but I guess with the rain that is the right thing to do.
