===== From trothgard@citywidesoftware.com: A dreamcatcher is a wonderful idea, I never even thought of it, until I saw this. I liked the detail in the dreamcatcher, although the feathers do look a bit off. I liked the superspray dreams, much as I think dreams travel. I would've liked to have seen the dreamer that is getting the good dream. ===== From cly@u.arizona.edu: I like the particle systems. Very unique. The lamp, I think the gold metal texture should be more dominant, add some ambiency, that way it looks like gold (I see it as wood). Good job on the feathers. Next time, I suggest that you make your objects more complex to make your image more attractive. ===== From robbert@mintec.ca: Lighting is ok. I'm glad this isn't my room. Wall paper is garrish! :) More realistic detail for the window frame and dream catcher would improve the scene. Higher res wall paper texture would avoid seeing the pixel artifacts. Good work on the dreams. ===== From pokorny@attglobal.net: A good first submission. I hope you enter again. The african touch is wonderful. Instead of or perhaps in addition to "more sweeping architecture" I would suggest submitting a much larger image. While I know images as large as 1600x1200 are not submitted often, as most of us do not have screens of this size which is prolematic. And, I suspect historically large sizes were too expensive to render. But my feeling is simply that the larger size is essential if you want to show realistic detail. Something like 1600x1200 resolution images is where we are all headed. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: I like this xcene a lot. The pattern on the wall looks nice (although it seems to me the seam between the walls should align better). Like the representation of the good/bad dreams, with the contrasting colors and shaping. The dreamcatcher looks good and seems to have a nice amount of detail, even if not as much as originally planned. The window frame seems a little wide, and could benefit from some additional shaping. Great work overall, though. ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: Glad to have aboard. I like the lighting and the composition. The texture on the bottom of the window sill needs to be horizontal.
