===== From skipt1@aol.com: In order for a still life or landscape to be effective in this round it needs to have a rich source of detailed objects and a complex terrain. This image has both. I love the description. This is one of the best images of the round. Well done! ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Very unique looking image, with lots of secondary colours: purple desert, green sky, orange bricks. Certainly one of my favourite images this round. For improvements, I would suggest that on close inspection the more distant desert looks a bit smooth and bare, where I'd expect a little variation from dry vegetation like that seen in the foreground. Also the fog in the distance is a very unnatural colour, which makes it look a bit "CG". But that's about all I can suggest to improve it, very nice work. ===== From helene.dumur@free.fr: Is this one the best ? I think so... Monument Valley is not so far (not the same colors, however) ===== From i-mcnamara@cornellcollege.edu: Wow, great image. I hate not writing all my files from scratch, but the results you got with planetGenesis are great, I just might have to look into that. The sky is nice, and the fog helps quite a bit. Good cacti and some solid work with CSG. Keep it up. ===== From jacoons@ameritech.net: Excellent Image! The horizon clouds - nice touch. Miscellaneous debris in the sand - nice touch. ===== From ericf@foothill.net: Great image. The rocks in this distance and the buzzards circling give a nice feel of depth. Plants are very well done, the sky coloration is good, the house has some good textures on it. The only quibble I have is the fallen bricks - a little too orderly, I think. ===== From raytracing@grayproductions.net: Great over-all presentation. We're sold. When can we move in?! ===== From file: Great Image good filling of the desert Notable for textures, modelling, lighting, composition ===== From file: Very interesting. I would merely say that a house out in the middle of the desert would be, perhaps, dirtier than your textures reflect. Notable for modelling, composition
