===== From bfranke2@home.com: Hi Nathan, It looks like you are still too busy with work. I won't even pretend to give you any advice. I am looking forward to when you have more time for the competition. Glad to see you are still here. ===== From rjhansen@hotbot.com: I like your forest. The unicorns look too stiff and posed. Overall, the lighting is a little too dark I think. ===== From Stickgod01@aol.com: excellent. Great composition and modelling. The trees could be a little less shiny, and the waterfall (if that's what it is), could use some work. Nice work. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: A bit dark, but very nice. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: I love the unicorns. The image has an overall fantasy sense. The darkness give you a sense of deep woods far far from civilization however it is a little too dark almost looks like night. One of my favorites this round. ===== From eallen@highway1.com: A little dark. I wonder if that was intentional. ===== From spencer@early.com: Very nice but awfully dark. ===== From javaearl@hotmail.com: Good unicorns. I like the shiny plants. ===== From warp@iki.fi: The image is pretty dark. Had to brighten up the monitor to see the details. Not the usual quality of your images. Certainly a very unfinished image. Had to score quite low on everything. Most models were not made by you and the image has a very messy look to it. It has a concept, but it isn't marvelous. The lighting of the image could be a lot better and the terrain needs rework. The horse at the left looks like standing on the plant. ===== From luisvaloyes@malditasea.zzn.com: Nice idea, really cool animals and plants. ===== From maneves@din.uem.br: That's a creative image. Not realistic, but that's not a problem. The horse was well designed. the image is too dark, but that's not a problem too, just a comments. ===== From bitdaf@tcainternet.com: Would have liked to seen the finished piece. ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: Quite good for work in progress, I like the stones and the plants on them. Sad the picture is so dark, you should do something about that. ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: The interpretation is intriguing, you could've gone far with this. Too bad you apparently did not have the time to finish the image - your skills would've definitely given way to a more dramatic view of the wilderness. Some technical details like the plastic leaves drag the score down, too. I hope you can squeeze the necessary finishing hours next round! ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Nice mood, and the unicorns look good. The textures could use some work... the waterfall in particular, and the leaves on the trees in the foreground look a little too shiny, I think. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Hmmm, not quite up to your usual high standards. Not much original work here. Unfocused and poorly lit. Even the "13" is rather uninspired. I do like the bark texture on the background trees. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Artistic - Quite nice although the dracena-like bushes could use a bit of work. I like the unicorns Technical - Shows promise. Is there supposed to be a waterfall coming off the cliff? It looks like a very strange rock formation Concept - Very original ===== From file: Excellent idea, although the image is too dark and the water doesn't look quite realistic enough.
