===== From skipt1@aol.com: The concept is surrealistic but the efforts in artistic and technical areas need to back this up. If the sky had a more realistic or subdued gradient to it, it would help the image dramatically. Not bad for a first entry. ===== From AlaskaS@gmx.de: I really like the concept of the scene. The objects are all very well modelled. The only thing I didn't like that much was the texture of the trees. They do not look dead enough :) ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Cute concept, good sand texture & good umbrella. Tree texture doesn't follow geometry. ===== From i-mcnamara@cornellcollege.edu: Very interesting idea... I could really use one of those rain machines. The rope is really a great touch. The trees could be a little more diverse, but I understand how much more work that would take. (A lot) The sky is a little too blue, could be a little lighter. Great human figure though, and the umbrella is quite nice. Good work, keep it up. ===== From ericf@foothill.net: I like the concept, but I would like to see more detail, too minimalist for me. ===== From raytracing@grayproductions.net: A little more time on the textures and this image would be even better. Still the idea made me smile. ===== From file: Flat need light and filing Notable for modelling
