Nice juxtaposition of images. Good desert floor.

From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com:
the cracked earth looks great in the distances, but suffers up close.  It needs another layer of dirt or dust on it.

From gregj56590@aol.com:
Appropriately simple elements. Cool theme.
Surface of cracked mud isn't photorealistic, but very appropriately ties in with rest of construction.

I love this image. The feelings of dryness and water are very convincing.
My only complaint is that the sand looks a bit stylized: but maybe that's
the plan.

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
The individual "tiles" of dried soil seem to be floating above the ground.
"Computer was turned off"? Now that's a strange thing to do to a computer ;)

From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu:
nice surrealistic feel.

From jaime@ctav.es:
Great contrast. Nice trick for crackle, and a good lesson of imaginative
texturing. Cedar, you MUST raytrace more often! the only criticism is about
the sand in the distance: needs more turbulence.

I guess I'll have to explore your code to find out about these mud-chunks=
, they look great.

From uwe.post@online.de:
Great - except for the ground. Maybe you can improve it when you have more time.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
I like everything except the "creative pigment mapping" which needs more grittiness/dirt/randomness.

From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
A most interesting image. Well done.

Nice ground texture.
