===== From cdsi26@bupers.navy.mil: This is a very well put together scene. I like the idea of showing a closeup of the face. Consider a focal blur to fade out the background for a more realistic effect. ===== From timk@jtse.com: Good contrast with the face and knife. Good lighting. Good sense of depth. ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: I am sorry, this concept just struck me as gratuitous to no real end. ===== From dlauer@optonline.net: The location of the camera really makes it work ===== From dwallace@lynx.dac.neu.edu: Maybe a few more monks? ===== From tina@ripco.com: The knife is very very cool. The screaming woman's skin texture makes her already look dead, gray as it is. The figure's pose seems somehow unnatural, maybe because it's too symmetrical. I like the trees and the stone wall in the background, very cemetery-like. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Astonishing (and almost obnoxious) viewpoint. The closeup face is good, the knife is excellent. Awfully grey in areas: skintone and tree bark. The bricks are well done, although rather large. So is the moon. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: Well set out image, some good and some really bad things about this image. The trees and fire are great, but that skin texture, and the ground is too flat.
