===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Very Bladerunner :) ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Oooh, that dark ominous look... I like it. But if the lightning is freezing the scene, why do the shadows and light on the building all go the wrong way? ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Quite some architecture. But don't the faces of the building facing us look a bit too plain? When I first looked at the space ship I thought I was looking at a hole inside the building, and the lights were eminating from inside it. But maybe it's just me. Keep practicing with lightwave, hope to see more. ===== From N6re@mminternet.com: Lightning overpowers all man-made lamps with brightness greater than the sun.. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Quite nice image. A few technical points, however: - You would achieve a better image quality by using a higher JPEG quality factor. Remember that the size limit is 250, you only used a little over 50. - The bump texture on the skyscraper seems to coarse, the indiviual bumps seem to severl metres wide. - it is not quite apparent what illuminates the building. And why only the left half is illuminated. Lighning shines into all directions. ===== From david.madore@ens.fr: This is nice, but there are aspects here that I don't quite understand. Maybe I don't really get the point, in fact. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Interesting picture. The city has a Tim Burton Gotham feel. The lightning bolt lighting is very good. The color really has a high voltage look. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: This is one of the more sucessful scenes in capturing the "flash" of lightening. The cloud texture looks good, but it lacks a sense of distance near the horizon. ===== From slone@hiwaay.net: Nice atmosphere. A more detailed multi-layered texture on the building might give it a larger scale. ===== From r@jerkweed.kiva.net: I think you're stretching the topic a bit too far.
