===== From kingofmycastle@gmx.net: Nice lighting and texturing. ===== From tony@awmcs.net: I love your concept it seems to be unique in this round. Your perspective view hurts the image IMO. The snow looks like it is piles up to the top of the tree. ===== From bfranke2@home.com: That's some pretty good construction for 6 to 8 year olds. I would reduce the lens flare, it is too distracting. What is that on top of the treefort. It kind of looks like one of the Shadow vessels from Babylon 5. ===== From mark.wagner17@gte.net: Get rid of the lens flare. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: A structure that imitates a defensive building does not imply that there is an invader. In the text file, you explain your ideas very well, and (though I object to your limited sex roles) am made aware of the childhood "fortress" you mean to evoke. The image fails to explain so well. A fortress needs the dialectic between the interior and the exterior world, in image terms. I do like the image, though. Good light and composition.
