===== From : Needs skin texture for starters. The image_maps don't connect as well in the vaulted room. ===== From batronyx@cadronhsa.com: A simple, but effective, communication of the topic. ===== From bonsalva@bellsouth.net: Looks good, his robe almost looks like wings. ===== From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu: Ok, but nothing amazingly special. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: In a way, the stark simplicity of this scene works to reinforce its theme, but at the same time it seems to distance me from the work itself. The priest and the stone walls look good. The floor seems a little flat compared to the walls though. Overall, an impressive piece of work, but it just misses for me. ===== From mwsny001@mweb.co.za: Very nice, it looks very real. ===== From tom@tomandlu.co.uk: Very elegant. The cloak is particularily good. I like this a lot. Good on-topic. The cross lets it down a bit. ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: Very nice idea, the shading of the walls looks 'inverse' in combination with that lighting. ===== From youknow@ucan.foad.org: This is an oddly-shaped and barren church. The stone walls are excellent but the shape is disorienting. ===== From mark.wagner17@gte.net: You might want to do something about the brick texture - - the shadows in the texture are inconsistent with the apparent light source. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Artistic: Simple but pleasing to the eye. Technical: Nice image map for the brickwork. Concept: Fits the topic well. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Epistemology: Is this the end result of a long process of asceticism, or is it out of ignorance of anything else? Axiology: Self-explanatory, of course. However, the epistemologic questions apply here, too. Ontology: The self is devoid of external influences and stimuli, which is the way to discover true worship. If this is correct analysis of the image, then why is it a problem to be influenced by external stimuli? Someone has to keep the books for the monastary (I assume), so where does empirical reality become a part of the worship? Is it interruptive? Is it the negation of worship to deal with more than the accepted symbols? ===== From file: Notable for lighting
