===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: That's a really nice image. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good concept. Water texture could use some work. ===== From fcueto@yahoo.com: The silhouettes are too bright, to my taste. Completely black would be better, I think. ===== From jguthkelch@netscape.net: I'm a little confused. According to your text you've entered for a topic of Outdoor Scenes, whereas this round's topic is Frozen Moment. I have marked assuming you made a typo. ===== From ggargett@attbi.com: nice pic. off topic. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Very nice looking, though quite dark. Some of the compression artifacts hurt this one a bit. ===== From N6re@mminternet.com: A special moment indeed varying in intensity and color with time... Good composition...I'd say the sun set eight minutes ago due to refraction... ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: The wave pattern does not seem to be quite natural. Quite a nice atmosphere in the image. ===== From david.madore@ens.fr: This could be a photograph. Ironically, I'm not sure this makes it perfect as a raytracing image, but it's still very good. And quite a poetic representation of the "frozen moment" theme. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Very beautiful image, but I note from the text file that it was designed for the previous round if, indeed, it was intended to apply to any topic at all. I suggest that you rtfm the irtc rules before the next round. I have to grade this as off topic and a possible rules violation.. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The use of silhouettes in this image works well. The thing I find somewhat awkward is that the parts of the clouds blocking the sun aren't noticably brighter than the rest of the clouds. ===== From r@evrtwa1-ar6-4-46-159-115.evrtwa1.dsl-verizon.net: Notable for composition ===== From r@jerkweed.kiva.net: WOW! Subtle, but very powerful. I didn't really see much in this image until I looked at it a few more times. The gradient in the sun texture is great. Notable for lighting, originality, composition, textures
