===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: For me, off the mark for concept. I really like the texture on the bullet. Textures for up close skin are hard to do. This is a good attempt. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Nice lighting. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: The concept seems to be adapted to suit the topic (my feeling). How much work this represents, I don't know, the hand and the bullet certainly look convincing, both have this photographic quality, though it is possible to see that the scene is not an actual photograph. Still that leaves me wondering what sort of tool you used to produce this and is it really hard work at all ? Does not sound so. Poor descriptions of the work and poor relation with the topic. ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: The image itself is pretty OK, and the attempt to bind it to the topic is at the very least interesting. You still fall short, because IMO a single shining object picked from a ruin does not make the image a legitimate ruins topic submission. Sorry :-( ===== From schimmler@ica.uni-stuttgart.de: Thw 7.62 bullet should be pointier and the bullet itself should have a smaller size than the casing. Otherwise nice. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: From a technical aspect, I think this is outstanding... especially the hand. I like the wall in the background, too. Doesn't seem to me it fits the topic at all, though. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: Doesn't capture the topic for me.
