===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Nice colours but the scene feels very empty. The forest, window, and snowman ideas were good and you should have stuck with it to get at least some of them in. Also there's something wierd about the icicles in front of the sun, it looks like your max_trace_level is set too low so the sun appears black when viewed through the overlap between the icicle and the cloud. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: The image has a nice soft tone of colors. However, the scene does look a little too simplistic. I understand you had some problems with the render but the final output is what counts. ===== From pokorny@attglobal.net: One of only two images which tried to take on icicles and yours is the stronger of the two. Only a handful of images went after ice at all. Hard to do. Your icicles look very good to me in parts and not so much like icicles in others. I wonder if some of this is because the image around the icicles looks too flat? I am not sure, but kudos for trying to tackle ice. ===== From tom@tomandlu.co.uk: Interesting use of simple elements. ===== From lamere@speakeasy.org: Sun looks good ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: http://translator.dictionary.com/text.html ===== From twisted_hero@yahoo.com: cool icicles, clouds; the snow is angled.. but you can see that..
