Poor Bill Gates (oxy-moron).  Needs a little more light to make outh the
details.  I know where you were going with this but I was hoping for a ruined
MS Building.

From english@spiritone.com:
I like the camera angle here.

From marlo.steed@uleth.ca:

Nice image and liked the concept... although it is a bit morbid for my liking.

What does this have to do with ruins?

From tlyons@gnn.com:
too dark most details lost to black

From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
There's only two gross errors in the automatic translation :
Not  product  (could be understood as correct, but it does not fit right) but
 software .
Not  see many  but  see much .
The rest is rather good.

Now to the point. If I were you I would not name important persons in public
submissions like this. I know one can always argue it is pure fiction, but.
Advice : just use some recognisable invented pseudo, something that will
trigger
subtly the name you want without engaging yourself. E.g. Mr Willy Fence ...
society Macrohard unlimited ... (now these two ones are copyright by myself,
but
you get the drift).

One idea for a ruin, but not a nice one (ethically).
A reasonable achievement, not very artistic.

From jouni@mikrobitti.fi:
The thought of capturing a financial ruin is interesting, and the
Microsoft joke ought to get some laughs from the Linux party. But
after the hanging Mr. Gates (?) has been discovered in the image,
there's little left to see. The objects are simple, and any possible
details sink into the darkness.

I might've improved this by making it more to the topic; you could've
had more items describing the ruin. Simultaneously you would've got 
more details, which wouldn't certainly hurt the image.

From StephenF@whoever.com:
The overall mood, lighting, and somewhat twisted effect 
are great... there's a cool spookiness which permeates 
this scene that I really like.

From jaime@ctav.es:
Well, many of us are expecting this to be a real scene... :) Good job. I like
the
point of view. Lighting is also nice and subtle. Some models seems to have
strange
proportions.
P.S.: Globalink done a good job!

From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk:
Some nice elements in this scene, you can't go wrong with a checkered floor. 
The flames on the candels look too uniform.  The back wall with the cracks and
the brick showing through is a good touch.  Hey he forgot to turn the light
off.
