===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good job! Cards are impressive! Eiffel tower looks a little bright (ambient?) in relation to rest of scene. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Nice looking image. Some motion blur on the cards would help to emphasize the falling. ===== From N6re@mminternet.com: A moment more terrifying than just frozen...the Eiffel is an extra not really needed.. the "house of cards" is very appropo.. Lighting good.. Good contemporary subject..a moment to remember. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Very nice image. ===== From bpjackson@woh.rr.com: Reminds me of 9-11 very much. Nicely done. ===== From david.madore@ens.fr: The triple parallel here is really great. The falling cards also are incredibly vivid. It is unfortunate that the Eiffel tower looks so much like it were made of toothpicks. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: nice composition ===== From clem@dhol.org: The house of cards metaphor is very appropriate. The scene is well composed. The use of the Eiffel Tower is a key part if the image to me. As a tower and a landmark, it echoes the WTC towers on the screen. It's triangular cross section echoes the house of cards. The house of cards is lacy and open like the Eiffel Tower, but it is falling down liek the Trade Center towers. The Eiffel Tower also, of course, localizes the scene. This practice is often used and has an unimpeachable pedigree (Chagall among others did it), but it sometimes seems to me that every window in Paris looks out on the Eiffel Tower! Incidentally, the neutral coloring of the walls and flooe accentuates the key elements well. ===== From quinet@gamers.org: Excellent idea, even if it is a bit morbid. You could have added a few more details on the TV screen and on the walls (playing with the normals, maybe?). ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Nice parallel between the cards and the image on the TV. The placement of the cards is done well. The eiffel tower looks to me more like a "model" in the scene that a real tower. This is probably an issue with scale and distances for the viewer, as there really isn't anything to allow us to tell how far away the tower is. ===== From noe.falzon@tiscali.fr: The concept is good, and I like the effect in the glass of water (a kind of Jurrassic park effect :) ) ===== From r@jerkweed.kiva.net: Sigh. I think including the WTC image on the TV was tacky. A house of cards falling with the Eiffel Tower in the background is enough.
