===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Ah, last minute inspiration, yes I know all about that. It's a good image, particularly considering how quickly it was put together. I like the materials and the photons. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: Some of the objects look rather out of place. The idea of having a "solitaire" game representing loneliness is good, though. ===== From : This image has a very high color-temp. Looking at it, im not sure what is signified by the half burried hand and the game, with the cube. Some nice artwork but tends to give me trouble interpreting it as loneliness ===== From whitey@telefragged.com: we have to rate images on a 1-20 basis. if there were a option for negative points, i would use them on this image. ===== From beighton155@yahoo.com: Off topic ===== From ruy@hipernet.com.br: A good depiction of Loneliness, both for the lone stone and for the lone person playing the game. I like it. There are some improvements to be made technically, though, aren't there? ===== From dapigg2000@yahoo.com: What would the RAYTRACING competition be without shiney glass or metal balls? Very good ideas here. It's got a good barren look to it. ===== From rclee@oklahoma.net: Good image. I liked the wind blown sand. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: This seems off-topic to me. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The sand heightfield looks excellent, although it is maybe a little too straight overall. I like how you have placed some sand into the holes of the gameboard. The texture on the hand/arm is the only thing that could really use improvement. It almost seems metallic to me. Oh... you never mentioned if you figured out the exact mathematical formula for the minimum angle between the spheres at the edge, so if you want it, I think I've figured it out. ===== From jl@artcom-gmbh.de: I like the sand/dust. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Abstract. A bit borderline. The Mengermania is distracting.
