===== From elias@users.sourceforge.net: Artistic Merit: It just has nothing which would make it above/below average for me. The robots look nice, and the image generates some feeling of the sunlight. But even if it was completely realistic, it would just be a metal bridge over a brown river with two robots. Technical Merit: The blades on the left look somehow cut on the bottom, and the earth just looks artificial. The water looks not completely realistic as well. The lightning effect and the glowing cylinders are nice, and I also like the sky. But overall the picture is a bit empty. Concept, originality, interpretation of theme: Not really that original, even with the knights being robots. ===== From fmurr@free.fr: you should try to obtain a more unified background; (work on colors and bump)too much details on the back disturb the viewers from the characters(specially the one on the right,almost invisible).It seems you added a lot of bump on the green hills,you should reduce it to valuate your characters, who are the subjects of your picture. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Wierd. Good independent work, but do not be afraid to find out what other people have done and experiment from that, too. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: I like the bridge here, and the way the shadows from it play on the ground. Modelling of the figures could use some work. ===== From file: Not bad, but i don_t think duelling robots over a contaminated river (that is a river, i supose), goes that well in topic, i mean it_s more in a sci-fi genre, like starwars (very likely, such two jedi robots whith theirs light sabers and jedi tricks). the bridge is a bit rigid (iron?), and the image is somewhat blurred, the sparks effect makes my eyes weep. On the other hand i like the movement of the robots, like they seems they are actually moving.
