===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Is this image a 3D render? It looks 2D to me, which means it's broken the rules. ===== From arte3d@luisvaloyes.uni.cc: please read the rules and the faq for the next time, your image is a very nice photoshop image but this is not a photoshop contest. please check the point 1.1.11 of the faq page... ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: I'm starting to wonder where the 3D work is here. ===== From : Somehow, this image does not appeal to me, but I do get the theme from what was written. BTW, could you please mention next time HOW you made it? I think most people are going to assume this is just a photoshop composite. It certainly looks that way. ===== From rgow@calweb.com: doesn't look raytraced at all ===== From whitey@telefragged.com: another candidate for negative points ===== From novotek@web.de: is a renderer used here ? ===== From ruy@hipernet.com.br: "Loneliness leaves you alone" is a redundancy. ===== From dapigg2000@yahoo.com: I guess raytracing isn't part of the internet RAYTRACING competitions either. ===== From tim.nikias@gmx.de: Not really done with some 3D-Program, was it? ===== From suso@suso.org: I think IRTC needs to emphasize what exactly what they mean by using a raytracing program. Maybe a few different translations of the rules. ===== From rclee@oklahoma.net: Interesting. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Hmmm, "collage"-type images do not really interest me visually. They = are difficult to judge, too: I cannot really suggest changes such as, = "you should have included a bicycle" or "the moon is too large" because = I have no basis for evaluating your goals here. Maybe you achieved = exactly what you wanted. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: The composition of this scene seems jumbled to me while the central element of it is a text message. I think it would have been better if more of a visualization could have been made where text (if any) was more secondary. ===== From jamesrskemp@eml.cc: The concept was nice, but I think that adding more then simply childhood memories would have added to the image... ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: I like the use of "ghosts" in the image, but I feel that overall the image is too "busy," making the sense of loneliness less felt. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: More information on how this was created would have been helpful, because it certainly looks more like a photo collage than anything else. ===== From clem@dhol.org: I think that the simple concept of the loneliness of space would have served you better than the busy collection of objects. The note doesn't add anything.
