===== From rgow@lanset.com: Nice texture, shadows. ===== From shay@simcoparts.com: The mountains are very nice. The textures look just a little stretched. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: Yes, this is the kind of image that I had hoped there would be more of... I'm glad it was entered. ===== From batronyx@alliancecable.net: Impressive. It's at least as good as anything I've seen done by Terragen, but this is done by hand! ===== From charliemc@prodigy.net: very nice picture ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: I think this picture is quite successful. Congratulations considering you were learning a new tool. Your scene alludes to nature's essential wildness. ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: Nice but looks fairly simple in fact. I miss some interesting composition or message. The bushes don't really look like bushes but more like floating clouds. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Nice craggy mountain. Short on vegetation. Sky is kind of fuzzy. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Excellent work! You've created a very realistic moutain, both in terms of shape and texturing. The one thing that could use some more work would be the ocean that is visible in a few places - it seems to flat and plain right now to give the idea of water. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Good solid work. Nice to see this use of Lightwave. I really like the = mountainous height field, certainly more realistic than jbnorth.jpg in = this competition. Interesting method to create the bushes, but there's = something odd about them... too evenly distributed perhaps? I think = they need to be clumped together more. ===== From r@168-215-245-100.gen.twtelecom.net: Great start!
