Hello number one! Love the use of color here. Great effect and atmosphere. This
is wonderfully artistic. It has action and a hint of a story to it. Reminds me
of a Boris Vallejo painting, except darker and moodier. To be honest, it
doesn't
have a strong feeling of depth to it, but I don't consider that necessary to a 
good image. Rated it 57/60, the top image on my list. Big applause!
 


=====
Great use of opacity maps, (but its no secret, well not if you think about it a
little). The fog effects in your image really sets the erie feeling of the
scene. 

=====
The trees look great, as does the sky


=====
LOVELY image.  Very nicely modelled.  I hereby award thee 20-20-20
=====
nice

=====

=====

Nice wings.

all by hand?--scanned images, 3DS modeler, landscapegenerator....
=====
I love this picture.


=====
Pretty moody image!!!
=====
I love the mountains and trees. They look great!

=====
Great, very impressive. Is there enough sense of depth though? I almost have the
feeling that I'm looking at a painting.

=====

Love it, like the colors

=====
Beautiful! The fire breath just needs reshaping to make it clear that it's
coming from the dragon's mouth

=====
The texture on the dragons appeared a bit too saturated compared with
the rest of the image.   If was greyed a bit I'd vote this to be the
best.

=====
Great landscape and admosphere, lovely trees

=====

This is awesome...love this.
=====
I like the trees very much! However, the water doesn't look very "watery" to
me. Perhaps it would have been better to make it darker, maybe black?

=====
Very nice!  On close examination the shape of your dragon seems to be fairly
simplified, but the whole thing works very well!

=====
Drawing was a little dark good artistic merit

=====
This was my idea about a year and a half ago but I just started ray tracing and
I got stuck on the height field! :)


=====
_Gorgeous_ scenery!  But, dragons need a little work.
(And please spell John R. R. Tolkien's name right!)



=====

I like the fire from the one dragon!


=====

I was wondering if anyone would do dragons and this individual did it well.


=====
One of the most attractive images in this round.  Still, a pox on 3DS.  Great
trees.

=====
Nice colors, giving a good unreal atmosphere...
