===== From rgow@lanset.com: Nice. Good modeling & texturing & your palm trees look fine. Background looks good but does look a bit empty. ===== From leoszilard@yahoo.com: Organic looks good, the top of the dome and the sky are about the only things that don't work for me. Overall, very good, especially with the short timeframe. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Awesome. Excellent concept, really good modelling, lighting, textures, layout, and everything. A few minor suggestions: The roof of the building looks flat, where it should have a nice tile/brick texture like everything else. The sky is a little too flat, and it's colour is a little more purple than I think it should be. And the trees in the background look out of place compared to the palms, plus they're very noisey in appearance. But these are minor points, and this is probably the best entry I've seen in this round. ===== From xilo_m@hotpop.com: I would have added people and a few very small clouds (just to get rid of the plain blue sky)... Also try to work on some adventure happening in your scene, there is more to a picture than just a description of a scene, there's also a story! ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: This image was superb - spectacular. You get a rating for artistic merit. The lay of the scene really shows off the modeling well. Nice sencse of depth. The texutures work well. My only suggest would to incorporate a faint bump map on the dome building (and on the dome itself) just enough to give it a hint of roughness. Still really well done. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: Beautiful dome on the mosque. ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: Nice work, the dusty atmosphere is well made, just the sky looks somewhat too uniform. Textures look good as well. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Nice work with the arch texture - it has a subtle stained look. The level of detail on tbe mosque is appropriate for the distance. ===== From slone@hiwaay.net: Great concept and image! ===== From r@215-241.opf.slu.cz: Very nice.
