===== From elias@users.sourceforge.net: Artistic Merit: 12/20. It looks quite good, especially the forest. Hm, you say it is a digital photograph? This make it harder to judge, I cut down some artistical points. Technical Merit: 9/20. Transition between photograph and scene is not that good, it looks like the foreground is just sticked to it. The clover is a nice idea. The sword knob could have needed one more vertex, at least I cut a technical point on that flat left. Concept, originality, interpretation of theme: No, not yet another sword sticking in a rock! Ok, this time it is inside a forest and has clover on the rock, so 10/20. ===== From fmurr@free.fr: The background appears really too flat ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Good use of textures and exploration of your tools. However, the theme could use a little more work. . . mystics and fantasy are more than just the legends that require them. Also, try looking at your image upside-down. It is a lame trick, but still may show areas where an image needs work. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: The rock and clover look good here. The sword looks nice, but a bit simpler than I would expect compared to the other elements in the scene. The background blends nicely with the rest of the scene. ===== From file: Great image, perhaps a bit simple, The sword employs a large bit, dwarfing the trees. The light is fantastic, and i enjoyed the clovers a lot. Notable for lighting
