===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: I couldn't really make the picture out, it seems a bit too dark. ===== From awilcox@dreampeach.com: I can see the turtle, but only after reading that there was a turtle in the image. ===== From bfranke2@attbi.com: With a render time of only 5 min., why is the image so small? The modeling of the turtle looks pretty good, but it is very hard to see. I suggest using a different background so the main subject is more visible. ===== From novotek@web.de: there's something wrong with the water beneath the stone... nice image :) ===== From dapigg2000@yahoo.com: A nice little image ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: Please, when your render takes 5 minutes in thumbnail format, provide the IRTC with a decent sized picture. It's almost impossible to see what it is about :-( It's all the more sad that the idea sounds good. ===== From suso@suso.org: It really would have helped to make the image resolution be at least 800x600 o higher. It is too hard to see details in this image. ===== From rclee@oklahoma.net: The textures were a bit too busy. I liked the turtle. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: This image *really* needs to be rendered at a higher resolution. Maybe = you could afford 10 min or perhaps even 20 min to render? As it is, I = think the turtle looks very realistic, but I'm not sure where the = surface of the water really is. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: The image is a little small and there is little contrast between the turtle and the bacground. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Nice work modelling the turtle. The water texture looks fairly nice, but the sharp division from blue to black (going left from the turtle's head) looks awkward. ===== From patrick@sypa.net: Your render was a bit small to appreciate the details of your turtle. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Hard to really make anything out in this scene... a larger image would be nice. ===== From clem@dhol.org: image needs more color and texture contrast. I find it very difficult to pick the turtle out of the background.
