===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: This is a good example of a complete picture. Good job. Looking forward to more entries from you. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: The colors are too harsh. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Classical interpretation. A bit of fantasy in the conception. Not counting the wild interpretation of laws of physics. ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: A good idea and quite decent composition. I would've emphasized more on the textures, though; while none of them are bad, the color combination of lilac floor, green plants, the reddish (even purple) landscape and the blue sky is a bit extravagant. A bit more earthly colors could have sufficed? Just a bit. Especially with that plum-colored temple floor ;-) And yeah, some tourist has again Phong waxed the pottery here. The top surface of the altar even reflects. Really, after how many years of being exposed to nature's forces? Thanks for writing such a detailed description of the image's creation, I believe it will be of use to many readers. The plant technique you used is neat, I've been trying to get the time to experiment with similar things, but so far with fairly limited success. Good work, I'm looking forward to your next entry! ===== From clem@dhol.org: Nice job. Perhaps a bit too generic. The star shape of the temple is hard to pick out. I like the plants. The rock in the background is unrealistically purple. There should be more debris on the ground. The altar should have decayed more. A jungle background rather than the unrealistic cliffs would have been better. The image is a little too symmetric. I like the birds. Good first entry. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: This is excellent for a first entry. The modelling is obviously detailed and the objects look good. The ruin effect has worked nicely. The plants do indeed look good. I think where this could be improved is mainly a matter of composition and lighting. The lighting is very flat and even, and the composition is extremely busy, with lots of competing colours and textures. A stronger light source with an obvious direction to throw some shadows and bright areas would help a lot. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: Text file too long. Some good work here. The textures need a lot of attention as does the lighting and the placement of objects.
