===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: Good use of camera angle. Some interesting elements, works nicely with the reduced palette and overall apocalyptic/visionary feel. ===== From steve@neurotrain.com: A 14 T 12 C 20 Lighting and framing are good, however the land while textured beautifully is too flat around the tree stump and skull, and the skull itself is too cartoony, though I understand it is more techincal than artisitic. I think a really nice touch would to have had green or brown dirt- like stuff around the base of the live tree. Technical: Excellent tree/leaves, texturing and modelling are superb. Ground looks great too. However, there is no ridge around the stump, and the skull really needs to look more realistic. Excellent concept. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: The seedling looks nice, and the shaping on the skull isn't bad. The ground looks kind of like water to me, though, and I would have liked to see more of a background (even just a few scattered tree stumps in the distance, perhaps?) ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: A real turn-off. ===== From hfventer@ing.sun.ac.za: The scull detracts a bit from the focus on the small tree. Maybe just a few bones would have sufficed.
