Good trees.  nice story.  I laughed, I cried.  I wish the monsters were a bit more visible.  Good job.

You know, if you did not mention that the animorphic shapes were tentacles, I would not have know what they were. The lighting appears perfect for this type of evening scene. I think your artwork (although employing horror genre) is beautiful, the textures used were fantastic, it has a painterly effect to it.  I feel that you needed to add a tentacle to the foreground.  This would have helped me to identify it, and also help me read into, around, and back-out-of the piece.  If you see the triangluar shape created by the positive and negative space of the sky and trees, this is a tool that artists use to force the viewer attention in and out the artwork. Sometimes it is done unintentionally, but if you look at all the greats they were very cognizant of these perceptual ques. I believe the next IRTC has to deal with gardens? I hope to see one of your works there.

I could not make out what those snake-like objects are.  
Maybe if you had another one closer to the camera? 
The house, trees, fog and lighting are fine.

One chair seems to be embedded in the ground rather than knocked over.  The blob creatures look to fake compared to the realism in the rest of the image.

This is the one image from the round that just stays in my mind.  Makes me 
think of Lovecraft

The best improvement you can make is to make a more realistic house.  Next is to add a path and/or a road.

Needs more "outdoorsy" stuff.
House could be differently shaped to take up more space in foreground.
GOOD IDEA!!

Great trees and grass.

From ericf@foothill.net:
I like the concept, of danger from unexpected quarters.  I had a hard time seeing it, though.  The creature is hard to see, it's not clear what it is.  And I think a bit more anti-aliasing might be in order, especially on the windows.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
The light levels are fine.
Very good grass, but it takes up quite a lot of the image.

From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk:
Far too much written in the text file, the image is meant to tell the story.
It's a really good image, but could do without those brightly coulured worms. It's lacking in any horror content.  I'm curious about those patches of light on the lawn close up where there is no light.  The image would have been better saved for a round of the competition with a theme that suited the work.
