===== From roth@ens.ascom.ch: whooaa, what a description! nice planes! ===== From djconnel@flash.net: I like the subject! The scene is interestingly constructed, and the construction motif emphasizes the engineering component of what is a structure that most take for granted. The rendering is somewhat simplistic, however.... still, the combination of the boats, planes, bridge, and cranes is nicely arranged. ===== From castlewrks@aol.com: This is an interesting picture for the "style" of the composition. It has a very simplistic look to it and the colors are rich and add to the style. ===== From ice@teanow4pm.demon.co.uk: Really something! I might even go out and buy this for someone (as a gift). Art! ===== From sonya_roberts@geocities.com: Nice concept, and your excellant description of the bridge and its surroundings was very entertaining. Overall the image has a very childlike feel, like an illustration from a childrens book, probably due to the simple geometry and bright colours used for most of the image. ===== From kaustin@tgn.net: Good background information and worthy topic. The image comes across as cartoonish due to the flatness of textures and relative sizes ===== From chipr@niestu.com: The water, ships, and trees look a bit cartoony--I think it's the textures. The bridge and the planes are very nice. Great concept. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: Wow, quite a history lesson in the txt file. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Impressive structure. Good research and composition. Good mix of large scale and fine detail. Great sky but lousy water -- needs reflections. Trees just look too much like green eggs growing out of the water. Many of the colors in the scene are unrealistically vivid. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: The idea behind this image is excellent but the components of the scene are too uniform to be 'real' looking. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: The image looks very "flat", there seem to be neither lightt sources nor shadows. The bridge construction lacks surface structure, it is all smooth, unlike real steel. The steam of the ships looks quite good and I also like the overall composition and camera angle, but maybe spend a little more time on textures and lighting. ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: The textures and colors need a lot of work, but I like it. Very lively and well-modelled. ===== From r@dial-up11.webbernet.net>: The research is, as usual, exemplary. The scene design is very good. The bumpy water works very well. The only downside is that your textures need more detail. The overall effect you get as it is makes me think of a model train layout more than a real scene. ===== From r@bowerbird.cc.uq.edu.au>: A bit unrealistic (rather model/toy/Lego-like) Notable for composition, textures, modelling
