===== From jknepley@chisp.net: The trees and foreground are the highlight of this scene. ===== From loomsbury@yahoo.com: This looks ok. The white clouds have way too hard edges, and the buildings need more detail. I like the trees though. ===== From pmccombs@hotmail.com: The trees look quite close to the buildings, and very large; or else the buildings must be quite small. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: Your trees are really nice looking considering they werent done using fractals. The buildings are nice except the purple one which seems to have a light from elsewhere the lower layer of clouds is very realistic but the upper seems too bright. Definately the textures done look awsome. The grass and trees are my favorite part. ===== From Stickgod01@aol.com: I like your trees a lot. I'm a little confused about the point of this image though... are the buildings supposed to be really small? Sorry if this is a dumb question. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Nice image but the city and natural park area meet each other too abruptly. ===== From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk: A nice change. Could be softened? ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Not bad... I like the trees, especially after I read your description of how they were made. The ground looks good, too, and the rocks are not bad. The path looks more like it's pushed up out of the ground, though (kinda like a mole tunnel), and I think the sky could use some improvement. The buildings are not bad but I do think they could have used more detail and also less reflection. ===== From tonyv@iafrica.com: Has a photographic feel to it. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Hmmm.. I hate to say this but I think texturing your buildings would have improved this image. The reflective surfaces look okay, but too plain. The leaves are obviously textured spheres, although this doesn't really look bad. I think it's the clash of the heavily textured foreground with the smooth buildings that makes this look a bit odd. ===== From patrick.joyal@sympatico.ca: someone forgot the anti-aliasing? ===== From file: The ground is good (with the shadows), the trees a bit round :-) Notable for composition ===== From file: nice scene, I like the way the sky was made
