===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Woohoo! You based your splash on my technique! ;) (Ben Weston aka: Tekno Frannansa) ===== From henry@unforgettable.com: Really good, except the sun: not sure what you could do about it really though. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: Yes, technically this is an image I can appreciate, with the sea and the fish. I also like the fact that it was done in the text editor. For the theme it is, however, a bit cartoonish. ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: The waves are too regular. Real waves are highly chaotic, in effect adding a white noise to your pattern. ===== From beighton155@yahoo.com: I think the main thing that lets this image down is the fish. I had to give a high technical merit for your splash alone, because i have been trying for along time to get that effect! Also technical is given for the ripples being true to physics. ===== From ruy@hipernet.com.br: A nice concept, but I believe there is a lot to be improved. Your sun, your sea and your clouds are not realistic as they could be. ===== From dapigg2000@yahoo.com: Pros: Waves, person, etc. Cons: Sun, bottle, SKY, SKY'S END. ===== From mvernon@srendered.com: Too happy of a scene. Needed darked clouds and muted sun. ===== From rclee@oklahoma.net: Nice looking spash. The sun could use some work. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Good splashing effect, but it is hard to tell what is doing the = splashing -- a leaf, some trash, a fish? I think the splash ripples = extend out way too far. Good sky and water. A nice sunny day. The sun (and its reflection on the water) could use = some improvement. ===== From jinx@spodbox.fsnet.co.uk: As someone once told me... "A bit of fog to hide where the sea meets the sky would do wonders for this picture"... ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Hard to achieve a truly lonely feel with such bright colors. The sun looks cool, but not especially realistic. Ripples could use some work. ===== From jl@artcom-gmbh.de: The fish is hard to recognize, maybe because it is too small. ===== From clem@dhol.org: The elliptical concept (two focuses, the fish and the boat) works, surprisingly enough. I like the splash and the semiabstract sun.
