===== From tom@tomandlu.co.uk: Lovely - the fish texture could be better would be my only crit. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Nice interpretation, combining two worlds to make a world within a world. Plus the detail on the scenery is astonishing! ===== From johnkbradshaw@hotmail.com: Notable for originality. ===== From topher@csh.rit.edu: What an interesting image! Great job on the field! ===== From jjaguar@worldnet.att.net: There vegetation seems to have a very abrupt change from the foreground hills to the background hills. The transition between the two needs some work to bend them together a bit better. ===== From thomas_alun@lineone.net: Very nice! Realistic, yet surreal at the same time ! ( a neat trick if you can do it ) By the way I think the ugly reflective effect you got rid of is total internal reflection - it happens when light passes from a high IOR material into a low IOR material. Its why the surface of water is more reflective from underneath than from above. ===== From emediez@emediez.com: As usual, a bright idea and a beautiful image filled with sensitivity. Congratulations. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Unique interpretation of the theme. I like how the world you've created is obviously impossible, and yet the scene is structured so that objects don't blatantly look out of place. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: I like the concept here, and the way the positioning of the foreground objects draws the eye through the scene. Plants in the lower left look good and realistically 'jumbled' to me. Has a nice painted feel to it. Nice work.
