===== From sshaw@fas.harvard.edu: It is a nice image, but (as you point out) not made for this competition. Not only is it then off topic, but it also violates the rules. ===== From nijman@nmtrix.com: Good camera angle, nice ambience. Bad texturing especially on the rocks. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Quite simple, yet retains feel of those professionally painted sci-fi novel covers. Landscape at bottom could use some improvement, not exactly sure what. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Nice image, but straight science fiction rather than "unbelievble". The ship looks great and the planets are good. Any extra work should go into the foreground... seems a bit undetailed compared to the rest. ===== From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu: Nicely done ship and planets. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Vivid and impressive. ===== From sdevet@istar.ca: The vast expanse of white really makes this image jump the bohundary from nice to excellent! I really like it! ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: This looks almost like a book cover... like work by Chris Foss, or Angus McKie. Good picture. ===== From file: Good picture except for the white stuff.
