===== From ecprod@bellsouth.net: The only thing I think I'd change would be to remove the foreground structure, it detracts from the center of attention... the weeping willow tree on the left is superb! Great atmospheric and depth-of- field effects. of field. ===== From elias@users.sourceforge.net: Most parts of this look really great, I especially like the forest, the house and most of the plants. Only the plant in the foreground to the right looks somewhat artificial. The bridge also looks not completely right to me, probably because of its lighting. The lighting of the tower doesn't seem perfect to me as well. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Your English is OK, and the image is, too, if a little cluttered. One question to ask about compositions is why everything should be in the image. You mention the reasons for the foreground, but that was a visual necessity to you, and not a symbolic one. . . many of the other parts of your image had both symbolic and visual significance. I like the thought you gave to how you were going to build the scene. As far as hematic interpretation goes, imaginary creatures do not seem to be the limit of what fantasy or mystics means. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Nice work... the plants and the buildings work especially well here. The structure in the foreground seems rather undertextured to me, compared to the other buildings in the scene. ===== From bballweber@austin.rr.com: nice forest background.. ===== From file: The best part are the background trees, but were they modelled or it is some image doing the texture?
