From skipt1@aol.com:
Great concept, and nicely executed.  The rest of the scene is well carried out. 
The only criticism I can add to this image is that the man has a bit of an
unrealistic gumby type effect going for him.  This is overshadowed by the fact
that you modeled him from scratch instead of resorting to a Poser model.  Nice
job.

I like this one very much ! Your sand is actually very good.

From rgow@lanset.com:
Great concept, great image! Sand looks great, and that sunburn hurts. <nitpick>
Shirt doesn't wrap the arms & neck quite right & left shoulder looks wrong.

From i-mcnamara@cornellcollege.edu:
For a first attempt at a human figure (mine's probably years away) I'm quite
impressed.  It certainly works in this image.  Great glass (my roommate agrees)
and nice waves in the sand (I love where it intersects with the glass).  A
little more merging of the cone of sand with the rest would have been nice, but
that would take a tricky bit of coding.  Great lighting, great textures, great
submission.

I like the idea

From ericf@foothill.net:
Seems like I've seen this sort of concept before, but hey, nothing wrong with
revisiting idea.  I wonder if it wouldn't have worked better more in the
distance, though, like sitting on a someone's desk of something.  I think it
loses subtlety when it is so much in one's face.

From s.tessarin@tin.it:
I like the image: both technically and for its originality.
I liked a lot the trick of using radiosity with a black background, think I will
use it in my some future works :-))

From raytracing@grayproductions.net:
Modeled a human by hand?  I'm impressed.  Nice image.

Nicely done. The only issue I have s that the sand piles up in a tiny pile now,
but it apears to have spread out nearly flan otherwise. I would use a little
bigger 'dune-age' in your sand to negate that effect.
