Too bad I didn't see a single thing

From 93johnst@scar.utoronto.ca:
Image is too dark. I had to crank my brightness and contrast setting just to be
able to make out the ship. I guess this just goes down as a case in point for
using PNG format. :)

From djconnel@flash.net:

This is a nice piece work, which however, perhaps could use a little
more refinement.  I think your comments are on target... before
reading the text, I couldn't tell what the image represented,
or even that it was underwater.  However, not that I know
what it is, there are many very nice aspects (spotlights,
texturing), and the multi-tiered topicality (ship, submarine...
failure, success) is a nice extension beyond the usual.

Perhaps a camera position behind the submarine would generate
more area in the spotlight.

From castlewrks@aol.com:
1) Deep in the depths, the contrast between the light and dark would be
sharp, not fuzzy as in this picture.

2) The image overall is too dark.

too dark

From agage@mines.edu:
I like it, though finding some way to shed light onto the far side (or
otherwise bring out the detail/depth) would have helped.  Certainly, you
can't just add light, since it is underwater, but putting some detail into the
terrain could have perhaps brought out the shape of the far side of the ship
through silhouette.

Stunning, subtle, wow.  20-20-20.

"Titanic"? Not too original considering the movie.
The image looks so dark on my screen (even if I play with the settings) that I
can hardly judge the technical merit.

From chipr@niestu.com:
I wasn't impressed with this scene when I first looked at it, but after
adjusting the gamma and looking a bit closer, I started to really like it.
The sunken wreck may or may not be very authentic, I dunno, but it sure was
impressive as an image.  Larry Gritz is right--ambient light is bad, and your
enforced restriction on it has paid off.  The ship is very starkly lit and
that shows off the texture quite well.  This is definitely one source I'm
going to be studying!  Good work.  Oh, and top marks for concept.

Great message about both the peril and promise
of technology.  Super depiction of decay.
Lots of good work here.

From arcana@sinbad.net:
Did you lose some detail when converting to Jpeg? The side of the Titanic in
the foreground seems to be lacking detail. Moreso than one would expect from 
the interferance that the water would produce.

From bobfranke@halcyon.com:
Very eerie.  Good job with atmospheric effects, high marks for technical merit. 
Seems a little to dark on my monitor, but maybe that's my problem.

From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Original idea.

=====
From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Very ambitious and interesting image.

=====
From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
The image if far too dark, thus limiting the available dynamic range.
(i. e. only very few different colours/brightness levels ...)

=====
From 101741.541@compuserve.com:
Impressive level of dark details.

=====
From lpurple@netcom.com:
A bit too dark (needs gamma correction) but beautiful otherwise.
The rusty ships rails are especially nice.

From r@dial-up42.webbernet.net>:
Great feel and story quality.  Very good modelling.  I like the rust blobs.  The
darkness fits the subject matter.  The texture in the water is a nice touch,
visually.  Perhaps spots could be a bit brighter, accentuating the newness and
functionality of the sub vs. the aged, rusting hulk.
