===== From henry@unforgettable.com: I like the sky, but I think it could have been done without using media: that would reduce your rendering time significantly and allowed the use of focal blur (which really adds to an image, I think). Nice image. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: A solid picture of a good interpretation of the theme. Maybe a little less repetition would've worked better. ===== From ojamies@cs.helsinki.fi: Nice ice ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: One of the better "isolation by difference" images ===== From novotek@web.de: everyone of us knows the meaning of this image. good work ! ===== From ruy@hipernet.com.br: The only "but" I have for your image is the sky. With a bit more work, it could be greatly improved. Either than that. I like it a lot. ===== From dapigg2000@yahoo.com: Another one with the same general idea, but this one is again differntly alike. (I wonder if I could add another thing that doesnt make sense and still make this comment work... I could try)... The image... it's pretty good. Looks good, good idea... well implemented. ===== From cfusner@enter.net: One of only a few images to play on the theme of isolation due to being different, this is my personal favorite approach to that angle. ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: Orininal and good looking image. I think you would have saved a lot of rendering time using CSG rounded boxes instead of superellipsoids. ===== From rclee@oklahoma.net: Interesting color contrast. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Great idea, but the image itself is so cluttered with tricky = embellishments that the main impact is almost lost. Contrast this image = with cliche.jpg in this competition. The latter is much more effective, = to me. ===== From jamesrskemp@eml.cc: I don't know, I think it looks really good. Why is he slightly up though? I guess I was first thinking of 'Demolition Man' when I first saw this, as in this individual was being selected for 'processing', or whatever the case may be... Really nice image though :) Keep up the nice work. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: I like how there is multiple levels of separation in the scene - the shape of the body, the shape of the peg, and also colour versus greyscale. Hmm... I'm not really sure how one could achieve a ghost-like effect for the people. One suggestion would be to use a grey and black emitting media inside the bodies with a highly turbulent bozo/spotted pattern, but I'm not sure how it would look, and it would drive render times up... ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Good use of color to create a mood, and the figures and their containers look interesting. I'm not sure why the lonely figure has color while the others are a dreary black and white... the other way round seems more natural to me. Nice sense of infinity here, too. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Nice and fitting use of the square peg riff. Good coor choices. Sealing people in the icy looking pegs adds a layer. This scene puts me in mind of "The Matrix".
