===== From ekaiser@camden.tds.net: neat ===== From agage@csee.usf.edu: If it was done within the timeframe of the IRTC "Ruins" topic, why is it copyright 1999? ===== From english@spiritone.com: The atmosphere looks sick and polluted, so good job there. ===== From ddombrow@vt.edu: An artfull stunnning image. I really like the "vanishing point" effect in this one. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: aethetic value is high.... ===== From mibmlr@hotmail.com: Interesting. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Interesting concept. But the nuclear winter would not leave many drops of water behind it ... the world's surface would be so cold that you could expect strong freezing temperatures even in the warmest parts of the planet on the warmest day. ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: The first glance at the image didn't promise too much, but after reading the text file it made a bit more sense. The idea itself is fine, but there's something about the implementation that makes the image slightly messy. Totally one another thing is the color and brightness of water. Chemically polluted cities are IMO unlikely to be flooded with totally clear and nicely reflective water. Nice try, though; the concept is a good one, too bad you stopped at the easy point (as you stated yourself). And yet following your words: the background is cool, but too bad the foreground is always the most visible part in an image like this. ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: Beautiful and moving image. Strongly composed. And I love the 'process' approach to the topic. I wish for a little more tactility somehow to make it all seem a little more real. But very powerful overall. ===== From chris_darcy@yahoo.com: Love the coulours. Too abstract to be anything topical. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: This has a nice watercolor type of feel to it, and the green fog does help the mood the artist was going for. ===== From c.bunker@plymouth.ac.uk: very beautiful, huanting, ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Nice colours and abstract sort of building shapes make this artistically interesting. I'm not sure the abstraction carries off the concept of ruins particularly well though. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: Beautiful image, there are very few colours here, but it works well. The atmosphere is good and adds a certain early morning flavour to the iamge. It looks painted in many parts rather than raytraced, but this just adds to the overall feeling. ===== From file: Notable for originality, composition
