===== From rgow@lanset.com: Pretty good result for an image map & 4 trees, but the shadows on the trees and the hills are going opposite directions. ===== From shay@simcoparts.com: I trees are nice, but the entire scene could be helped by moving the background much farther away from them. The mountin appears to rise too suddenly from otherwise flat ground. A warmer light might also improve this picture, ===== From jguthkelch@netscape.net: Sky lets it down ===== From awesomeamazingaaron@yahoo.com: Kinda nice but go for originality next time and you will win my vote. ===== From BigTrav2001@chartermi.net: It would appear that you did not actually create a single aspect of this image yourself.. ===== From juanjcampos32@hotmail.com: The sky is wonderful and the mountain in the background looks genuine, but the trees for some reason look out of scale with the image and don't present the feeling of either a grove or forest setting. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: The image has many artifacts in it. Most likely due to over-compression. Also, your overall work may improve if you were to do more self-modeling instead of just incorporating other models and doing a quick terragen job. ===== From charliemc@prodigy.net: good use of openfx which is a real good all round 3d creation and animation tool, freeware too with no commercial restrictions ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: A random background and some trees obtained elsewhere? I miss the originality. The idea itself is not bad, maybe with a gap in the trees revealing the view on a particularly spectacular part of the landscape. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Pretty but no story. Good trees, but clouds and ground look too painted. Ground really needs more detail. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: This scene looks somewhat awkward to me as the background image and the trees in the foreground doen't really mesh. The background doesn't give a sense of nearness, so there seems to be this odd, empty gap between the tree near where the viewer is "standing" and the mountains in the background. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: The forest, although nice, seems to be getting in the way of the actual = landscape. Maybe the image could be improved by removing one or two = trees.
