Wow.  Where did you get the image_maps?

From batronyx@cadronhsa.com:
Excellent job of 'aging' the stones. Almost photographic. The lighting appears
to be a little close for outdoor lighting though.

=====
From tony@awmcs.net:
A decent structure but the surfaces seem to bright for an object that has been
sitting around for hundreds of years. I would expect the textures to be
smoother the edges to be rounder and the color to be much faded. The little
guys in the image are a nice touch.

From d_chappell_link@hotmail.com:
I think the 'gritty' appearance of this image is great. Always like renders that
are done so well they don't shout '3D!'.

From marlo.steed@home.com:

Nice image... quite realistic... but not quite there... hard to say why, the
textures are great...  maybe it is the lighting...

From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu:
WOW!!

That is a fabulous image. You have captured the look of those old watercolors.

=====
From StephenF@whoever.com:
The temple looks great, and the ground is nice.  Not 
sure about the background, though... it looks 
interesting, but is it supposed to be sky or a huge slab 
of weathered concrete (which is what it looks like to me, 
but doesn't seem to make sense within the scene)?  The 
scene overall is very impressive, though.

=====
From tom@tomandlu.co.uk:
A lovely image - the sky is an interesting choice, like an 
oil painting. However, it does look out-of-focus up-close.

=====
From chris_hormann@gmx.de:
Reminds me somehow of ancient colorized photographs, the bump mapping is
quite strongly visible.

=====
From youknow@ucan.foad.org:
Is that meant to be an endless wall behind the bulk of the
ruins? A larger landscape or a close-up shot would likely
have worked better.

From albiaprime@aol.com:
Artistic: Very attractive scene
Concept: Well, a rather crumbled place of worship.

From delfeld@mailcity.com:
Epistemology:
I am sure it was well known within the Egyptian culture before that point, but
the reason so many discoveries were made famous is because they were 'exotic'
and foreign.  The idea of the 'dark continent' and it's strange rituals and
objects seemed worshipped.  Is this what worship is in your scene?

Axiology:
We own what we discover, since we define what it means.

Ontology:
There is a clear distinction between the finders and the found.  We can imagine
ourselves like them, but still realize that the relation is looking downward,
and we have to come back 'up' eventually to one's native culture.

This is great! I'd have gone for a finer sand texture, because it looks really
hard, but I love the ruined temple!
