===== From higginsdj@bigpond.com: Nice pattern ===== From james@imperiumglobal.com: interesting image. Some more work on environment lighting and texturing would have really made it. ===== From philip.chan@home.com: Excellent job creating the bacteria. The scene looks something like what you'd expect to see in an electron mircroscope. ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: I like the concept. I entried one that is simular. Mine they where perparing for battel. In your they are batteling. So why not show how one bacterium kills another? ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Nice use of color and glowing effects. Not sure how well the concept comes across within the scene itself. (I don't get the feeling of battle so much as I do of intermingling.) ===== From tm-ray@consistent.org: The glowing textures came out well, but I'm having trouble understanding quite what I'm seeing. The bacteria look like they're mitosing, not fighting. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Good description of the image creation. I like the color patterns, too. The problem with random patterns, such as sprays, is that you do not have much ability to control the visual aspects of the image. For instance, the central area from bottom to top looks somewhat like a building, and it is difficult to emphasize (or de-emphasize) that impression.
