===== From reinhard.pieper@web.de: Why not put some snow on the island itself? The palm trees look a little bit methematical to me. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: The trees and island look pretty good, but rather dark. The snow is just a flat white colour, with none of the shading and shapes I'd expect to see in snow. And why has the sky got lines in it? It would be a very effective image if the snow looked more like snow. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: The concept works as long as the the viewer assumes the white is snow rather than over exposure (perhaps it needed something more to communiate the idea of snow). ===== From tomvw87@hotmail.com: Very nice, very realistic, great work on the palm-trees. ===== From file: Notable for lighting ===== From file: okay..
