===== From ekaiser@camden.tds.net: cool ===== From english@spiritone.com: The layout makes this image hard to read. It's clear what's happened to these guys, I'm just not sure where they are in space ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: A nice image... the vines (bark) needed to be a bit more realistic. ===== From taymac@peaknet.net: fantastic all around.... ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: That does not take my fancy, sorry, just a matter of taste. ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: All right! Excellent interpretation, this one's really different from the others. The statues are nice, but the terrain on the right is a bit unclear. It's just artistic now. The vines are Ok, but I get the feeling they clip with the head in several different positions. Pretty strong vines, if they cut through stone like that :-) The tree is a bit square as well, especially the middle branches. Still, the idea makes this one of the most entertaining entries this round. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Interesting in an abstract way, but it just doesn't seem to work for me. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Hard work. Your txt nicely describes the process, even for non-bryce users. I liked your words about procedural texturing: at last, it is a question of satisfaction while doing it. About your three objectives, both the theme idea and the emotional response are good. Only photorealism seems not really achieved, altough it is very realist. Perhaps shadows are too black in some parts, and perhaps a more closed fog is needed for a more clear perception of depth. Very nice, anyhow. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Very original interpretation. Dramatic layout. Very good weathering on the stone and I like the sickly leaves. For some reason, this is a very gamma sensitive image. During my first look through the images I noticed that my gamma settings were off, and correcting it changed this image much more than any other. For instance, the fog was completely invisible and the headless statue was badly obscured with the incorrect gamma. The green area behind the foreground statue doesn't work for me. It needs to be either rock or detailed greenery. As is, it just looks like filler. The snake also tends to disappear into that background. I'm not sure why, but to me this image wants a rivulet or small pool or waterfall. Like the snake, the tree, although good, has contrast problems. In any case, this is an excellent image. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Yes, you succeeded! Great image on all counts. The only problem I can see is the straightness of the tree trunk and branch sections. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: This seems to have a bit of a "Frank Frazetta" feel to it. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: This is quite busy and messy to look at, so I stopped looking at it. There seems to be a bit of a perspective problem here too. Your text file was far too long. Some of the textures look good. ===== From file: Notable for originality, composition
