From sshaw@fas.harvard.edu:
I am most attracted to the lighting in this image.  The plant life in the scene
looks a bit desolate; I'm not sure what time of year the experiment took place,
but I think that the trees would have looked better with some leaves and I'm
not sure about the sparseness of the grass.  Why does the church have a wooden
portcullis?

Is that Franklin? The human looks very female to me. The lightning bolt is
great
and the textures on the clocktower are good, too.

Very good! You might want to work a bit more on the grass texture, but that's a
minor quibble. (It looks like Bert is in the clock tower, btw; better tell
Ernie.)

Nice render.  Not the hoky cliche' I was expecting as I waited for it to
download.

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
Quite nice, but lacks a bit in color selection and composition.
As to historic accuracy, although the experiment Franklin conducted was very
ddangerous he was not _that_ stupid. He used a key attached to the kite string
to short the electric current into the ground without touching him.
In the setup as depicted the full current of the lightning would go through
Mr. Franklin's body, almost certainly killing him.

Good job, GUMPers!  Good sense of light.  Clock tower reminds me of "Back to the
Future".  Pretty heavy gate (boards as big as your chest?) on the building.

From davidwilkinson@cwcom.net:
The image is good and I like the idea of a co-operative project.  I'm not happy
about the detailing of the building, but the lighting is good.

From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Nice image. Good lighting. Looks pretty serious though!

From 101741.541@compuserve.com:
The point of view may have been closer from Franklin, 
with the eye
looking from down to up.  The scale of some 
constructive elements
of the clocktower (tiles, bricks and grid) is much too 
large.
