===== From rgow@lanset.com: Heh heh, cute concept. Good job on the snow! Some of the little snowmen appear to have their heads on backwards? ===== From leoszilard@yahoo.com: The snow on the tree impressed me, and the idea is cute. The smowmen are still a bit rigid. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: Although not entirely within topic, still an entry of note, especially because of all the snowflakes. ===== From raytracing@grayproductions.net: My only thoughts are that the snow could be a little more shiny/reflective. I like your concept quite a bit though. Nice work. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: lol, that's cute! Some suggestions: try it with a lighter sky or reduce the distance your light shines over, at the moment the horizon is light against a black sky which looks odd. Snow should be whiter and slightly shiny, and the snowmen might look more natural if they weren't so spherical. On the whole, nice work :) ===== From xilo_m@hotpop.com: Even though the architecture involved is very simple, it still is architecture and the picture looks fun (you don't see much fun picture this round). Thougb, I feel there is something missing in there... not the house, not the textures, neither the sky, but something in the actions of the snowmen; no one seems to be following a plan, maybe some workers should be doing stupid things or I don't know... Nice picture anyway! ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: I think the concept gets high marks. You do a pretty good job. Perhaps a few tracks in the snow for the crane and the little snowman workers would have been a nice touch. I like the track in the snow for the large head. The worker snowmen look a bit too smooth for snow. Still nice image. ===== From explorer87@wanadoo.fr: technically good, but the theme is badly interpreted; sorry :-( ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: This snow looks like clay or something! Trust me, I know, I_ve lived in Iceland for the most part of my life. I know what snow looks like. Try to change the ambient color of the snow material (see Pov manual) to some faint violet-blue and see what happens. The truth is that in the almost dark hours, with or without moonlight, you see snow as blueish, not grey. That is why this is especially important in night scenes. And now to your scene: You have put a lot of effort in this scene and I like the concept of the snowmen making this statue (the Snowmen Statue of Liberty?) Good work! ===== From fergie_2002_@msn.com: very nice idea ... as you say could have done with a little more time but i like it ===== From dajs100@york.ac.uk: While not one the most technical or artistic images here, this is one of my favourites! Some detail in the background would have added huge ammounts to this image. ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: Cute idea although it's more 'engineering' than 'architecture' The crane suffers from some 'mechanical problem'... ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Interesting interpretation of the topic. Adding randomness to the snowmen and making the snow less perfect are nice touches. One thing I would like to see added would be tracks for the crane (to go with the "trench" from making the huge snowman's head). The snow on the trees looks quite good, but it is somewhat awkward in the middle (just above the shadow from the head).
