===== From uwezi@geocities.com: if not the horizon was at 50% of the height... ===== From thedewitts@earthlink.net: Very nice. The only unfortunate thing is that the eye is drawn to the trees, which are too detailed to be silhouette and lack the detail to be lighted. Other than that, it's the nicests one I've gotten to so far... ===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: I like the monument and thanks for thinking of the Vets. ===== From tglover@nettally.com: Powerful image. Nice. Good modelling and textures. Very good use of lighting and composition. My only suggestion would be to include a star-of-David marker somewhere - probably off near the flag. Not all graves were marked with crosses. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Good interpretation, but the picture does not agree with me. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: The monument and flag are photorealistic. I wish the ground had a (very slight) contour so the crosses wouldn't line up so precisely. ===== From clem@dhol.com: Good ground. Good modelling. The background is an interesting idea, but it just didn't work. The surreal atmosphere it induces badly clashes with the main part of the image and significantly weakens the overall effect. The kudzu-like texture on the background helps a bit, but the unnatural shapes can't be disguised.
