===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good composition. ===== From shay@simcoparts.com: A very nice concept. The bright lights and pale textures confuse the image, however. Some inhabitants, little farms, stores, etc. might be nice additions. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: The "of natural origin" is missing, but I am impressed by the number of grass cones in this picture. ===== From rich@brickbots.com: This is a great image, I like the color balance and the concept. My main suggestion would be to lower the camera, to help provide a better feel for how large the tree is. ===== From batronyx@alliancecable.net: Points for originality, but the grass is too transparent and glows unnaturally, contradicting your stated intent of increased realism. Maybe you had the ambient too high in the grass finish statement. ===== From charliemc@prodigy.net: nice tecnnique, very imaginative ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: Very original but the glow of the grass and sky are a bit overdone IMO. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Interesting idea, but quite close to the "fantasy" borderline. The tree shape is ok, but the bark is in dire need of detail. The overall fogginess detracts. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The grass works very well to give the scene a magical feel. I like the colour scheme for this image, and how the "human" elements contrast sharply with the natural elements. The only part of the scene I feel need improvement is the sky - the lighter spots don't really give the impression of clouds.
