A very reflective mood.  Seems a little too dark in the 
room, but may that just my problem with my monitor 
settings.  Although the connection with the topic is not 
immediatly apparant, the feeling of the image is 
conveyed well.

Whohoo! A non-hairless Poser figure! A rarity!
Texturing in entire scene is well done.

From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com:
Good theme and I like the dark atmosphere.

I like this pic.  It's a teensy bit dark, but i think 
lightening would
lose the focus of the man.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Why the low camera angle?  The floor isn't really the focus of the scene, is it?
Good textures and mood.  Evocative scene.

From tina@tezcat.com:
I had to read your comments before I understood but once I did I liked the 
picture a lot better. Very good idea.

From djconnel@flash.net:
This image has a lot of potential -- the scene of the man 
looking
out the window seems quite promising.  Unfortunately, 
things 
are too bare.  Is there noting in the room?  And the 
image needs
to be applicable to the subject without the need to read 
the
text file.... I see no encounters and no firsts here.

Simple is good but the trees just don't work for me.  Too 2D.

From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Good composition, stong "feel" to the image. Without the 
text, it is not clear what the encounter is.

From blaineholmes@hotmail.com:
I like the floor and columns.

From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Texturing was your goal and is fine after adding a lot of brightness.
The window looks really huge to me.

From r@haka.saunalahti.fi:
The viewpoint is interesting and well chosen, but it leaves the lower right part of the view rather empty - a well placed pillar, sculpture, or piece of furniture just above and left of the name would counterbalance the scene. The window looks a bit painted on, but the effect is nice.
Notable for composition, lighting
