===== From chris@bluelectrode.com: Great concept and extremely convincing modeling. All the plants, with the exception of that tree, are very realistic. However, the large on the right and the small rubble of the house on the left weights the image to the right. Overall, it makes the image look off-balance... Personally, I would have liked to have seen a better story connected to the image instead of the symbolic reference to the world "disappearing." It's a little off-topic from the image, but that could help clearify any questions concerning the concept. Still, one of the most original concepts I've seen so far. Good job. ===== From YaelParis@operamail.com: This remind me of Magritte's paint : Castle in the Pyrenees ===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: I like it. Really touches my inner horticulturist (sp?) ===== From twins@srv.net: from looking at this pictures template I thought it sucked, but it's actually quite good ===== From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk: The grass looks odd, and the bricks, etc, lack texture, but otherwise an intriguing image. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Magritte where are you today ? A very good concept, and I am so absorbed by some of the submissions to this IRTC round that I may not notice for quite some time to come the world has disappeared around me. And if I did, I would just come back to POV ... ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Very good! I haven't noticed it was Bryce, and this is good. One usually expects the tipical landscape. Fine idea and realization. Nice details. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Technical - Wonderful job Artistic - very nice and the message is clear Theme - good interpretation of the theme ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: This is very good work. The garden is obviously the important part of this image, and the text file explains the obsessiveness displayed by some gardeners, making it a great concept. The modeling is well done, particularly the broken fencing and house around the edges of the platform. The line (power cable?) running off the left edge is a brilliant touch. There's not really much I can add to this except to suggest the lighting may be a bit too harsh - the shadows are very dark and could do with some softer light.
