===== Focal blur works well, the cartoon-like dog's eyes are really good. Plane surface a little unrealistic though perhaps (looks like shiny plastic rather than painted metal). ===== Good idea. ===== Heh. Seems like a typical dog thing to do. I find it strange that while there's such a polished look to the engine, the textures on the plane, and particularly the windows, seem a little overlooked. ===== I think the background such as the sky and a bigger dog would've bettered your picture. -hl ===== This made me roll on the floor... hehehe :-) ===== Good concept. Textures could use some more detail, and 'dirtying' up so they seem more realistic. ===== I like dogs. I can relate to the theme, as my Jack Russell also sticks his head out of the window when we go for rides (in the car, not plane ;-). I think the dog should have been bigger or the plane should have been smaller (maybe a bi-plane?), so that more of the dog detail would be visible. Anyway the dog is the main object, not the plane. The blur effect is too heavy, as Daniel remarks. ===== A Different view of dogs out windows ===== Cool Idea ===== Very creative way to show flight, I think. High ranks for concept, above average for Artistic & Technical merit. Overall, a very good picture, nothing to really complain about. ===== Well Uhh, how uh plain, Cute Dog though ===== The planes windows are the wrong shape. A little bit more attention to the planes details would have made this image a lot better. A sky texture would have also been nice. ===== Great Idea! aren't the windows on 727's a bit more rounded at the corners though? ===== Thumbs up for using new POVray 3.0 features! ===== Excellent concept - the theme of flight is certainly obvoius - fantastic comedy value - dynamite originality. Bravo!! (signed - a dog lover) ===== Bit mundane, but cleverly done ===== Simple graphic compared to many of the others, original idea. ===== I can see the drool clearly. ROFL!!!!! ===== Kudos for origionality, and the great title. Nice perspective on the picture. I like this overall. ===== Nice doggie;-) ===== Great idea! Maybe some ground detail would add to the image because the plane doesn't really look like it's in flight. The engine also looks static, which doesn't help, but I've no idea how a motion blur can be achieved in POV. ===== This one is very funny. ===== A nice image. Even though it is very simple, it has a point to make. Without the dog it just would have been very simple. I think perhaps the image maps either need to be more (add dust and dirt and so on) or not there at all. ===== Nice idea. But, I'm left wanting more. ===== Original and cute. Perhaps you should have the dog nearer the center and larger in the image to minimise wasted image space occupied by out of focus fusilage. ===== Cute pic. Nice camera angle. ===== I'm laughing...love the drool. ===== Funny ===== This dog is just too darn cute! :-) And it's good to see he flies QANTAS. ===== Cute dog! ===== Good image. The author is a little too reluctant to give himself any credit. It seems that many of the TXT files describing these images are negative in nature. That's too bad... these are good images. ===== Love the dog hanging out the window. Really neat idea! When you think of dogs hanging out of a window you think of a car. ===== I didn't get the feeling that the plane is in motion-- I thought it was on the ground until I read your description of the dust halo to simulate cloud. ===== Hilariously funny image. ===== I like the concept of the image. Very funny. More detail and a richer, fuller sky texture would have made this image stand out even more. ===== Nice Plane, good use of DOF. ===== Cute concept ===== What settings did you use for focal blur. It looks great. p.s. You have to use extreme values for it to look good :) ===== Very cool, and quite funny! ===== The focal blur was perfect and the drool was quite noticeable :) . If anything, more work could have gone into the clouds, which I thought was pavement, especially since the engine fan doesn't seem to be moving. ===== I have to laugh every time I see your image - great idea! ===== dog looks good, better than the plane. ===== LOL! ===== That's funny! ===== Muttley lives (albeit updated for the nineties)!!! ===== Very cute concept. Loved the hound. Plane's engine, wing, and tail were actually quite nice--good depth of field. ===== Funny, but not quite related to the topic (the effect would have been the same in a train or in a car) ===== From web_user@dialup-bne108.bluesky.net.au: hey man... VERY kool pic.. haha. :) cause i mailed it in for ya. :) hope ya win man. :) Notable for composition, modelling, lighting, originality
