===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: very atmospheric. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good lightning bolt, but it doesn't seem to illuminate the city. ===== From fcueto@yahoo.com: I liked very much the lightning. The city ambience does not look very realistic, I think. Perhaps it's not dark enough. ===== From ggargett@attbi.com: Nice pic. Tech score low because you used photoshop to create the lightning. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: It feels more like a normal picture than a frozen moment. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: I like this image. Im just not sure if the lightening should be as thick at the bottom as from the top? ===== From N6re@mminternet.com: Several lightning entrants...lightning is very brilliant and drowns out all man-made lamps and has a brilliant reflection... ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: The city seems to be a little bit sparse, that is too big empty areas between the buildings. Actual skyscapers are usually very close to each other. ===== From david.madore@ens.fr: Technically highly unimpressive. There is some artistic concept, but if falls rather short. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Good call on the lightning bolt. It does look better than most algorithmic lightning I have seen. I like the clouds too. Good variety on the skyline. I can't decide whether the foreground land adds by providing scale or distracts the eye. ===== From matt@alledora.co.uk: Wonderful water. That's something I always have trouble with. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Nice work with making the lighting in the scene look as if it is coming from the lightening. One thing that seems missing is a bright flash in the clouds to accompany the lightening. ===== From batronyx@alliancecable.net: Nice dramatic effect. I especially like the neon tubing around some of the building tops; it adds interest. ===== From slone@hiwaay.net: Great lightning, but it seems to appear through a flat slit in the cloud. Excellent use of color in the city. Very artistic.
