===== From skipt1@aol.com: Looks a little cold for skinny dipping... I don't think he is going to last long. The sky is a little too black and white. Some added detail on the man, like clothes or hair would also help. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good composition, color. Good job on raindrops. The iceberg texture looks more to me like a shiny rock, maybe if the bump was scaled larger. ===== From i-mcnamara@cornellcollege.edu: Great work... the ice looks great, the water looks cold, and the rain is a great finishing touch. Good work. ===== From ericf@foothill.net: The water and the ice look good, but I wonder if the person is standing on something, since he is awfully high in the water. Makes it look more like he's just out for swim. ===== From raytracing@grayproductions.net: Better check that boy for frost bite. I really like the environment here though. ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: Polar deserts are a good idea, but this is not a desert. The poser figure needs clothes, especially in this setting. ===== From file: Topic Notable for modelling, lighting ===== From file: This is very good. All I would change it this: 1.
