===== From skipt1@aol.com: The lighting and textures need work. The colors are a bit harsh and the scene and concept on the simplistic side. Not a bad attempt for a beginner, keep at it! ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: nice choice of colours, but would really benefit from more than 15 minutes work. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: A simple but nice image. The moon looks too flat, needs something to indicate that it is the light source. ===== From i-mcnamara@cornellcollege.edu: I like the simplicity of the sky, it almost seems Japanese, but I can't back up my reasoning on that. I wish the flower were a bit less perfect; some imperfections would have looked nice. Much harder to make though, I know. The waves you used for the sand seem more watery than sandy; maybe something rippleier would have worked a bit better. Still, for a 15 min. creation, very well done. ===== From enrique.sahagun@uam.es: the earth is good, very good, but the sky and sun could be better. ===== From ericf@foothill.net: Very clean, but not enough to look at to keep my interest. The rolling hills are nice, but a bit green for a desert. Needs more depth, more variation in colors and elements. ===== From raytracing@grayproductions.net: Solid idea, just seems to need a little more attention. ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: The sky lacks detail. ===== From file: Good idea bad rendering, flat Notable for composition, originality
