===== From rjhansen@hotbot.com: Nice sky. Good posing of the dead horse. I think the mountains rise to abruptly and the whole scene doesn't very natural. Sorry, but I don't think a post-battle scene relates to "Wilderness" much. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Hmmm... I can't see the topic connection... ===== From tony@j4tb.com: Your objects look really nice as do the mountains and especially the horse. However this scene comes across as being a little off topic. ===== From jd@surveyor.in-berlin.de: Nice sky, strange mountains, off topic. ===== From spencer@early.com: Poor horse! ===== From warp@iki.fi: The first impression that this image gives is very good. However, when looking carefully to the details, one can see some things that could be done better. The general ambient of the image and the idea are quite good. The place where the ground and the mountains meet is not smooth, but there's a sharp line there. Looks like the mountain is not part of the ground but a separate object. The texture of the mountains could be better. The shadows could be a little softer. The clouds look good. ===== From luisvaloyes@malditasea.zzn.com: Nice image, specially the horse. ===== From dmacisaacj@hotmail.com: not bad but the scale seems off maybe it's the horse not making dent in snow, over all pretty good ===== From bitdaf@tcainternet.com: The interpretation begged to be explained...or else it's just an 'after battle" scene. I wish the artist would share those thoughts with us. ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: Nice idea and convincing winter colors, a bit more individual touch would be nice how about some wind blown snow on the objects ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: Good modelling especially with the mountains, bushes and the helmet. Unfortunately the historical aspects in the image swallow the wilderness theme to some extent. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Very nice... the horse looks good, and does a lot to help flesh out the idea behind the scene. The sky and mountains look good. The sword looks nice, but doesn't quite have the realism that the other elements do. The tree on the side looks very good, but wouldn't more of the branches be drooping down from the weight of the snow? (A very minor detail... doesn't really detract from the scene itself. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Artistic - Pleasing for an otherwise grizzly scene Technical - A few technical flaws. Where are the dead soldiers? Why is the helmet partly sunk into the snow but the horse is lying on top of it (except for one rear leg which appears to be buried)? The young trees are distributed very nicely. Concept - Good, but different interpretation of the topic ===== From file: Nice... next time more carnage and a little blood perhaps? Notable for textures, composition
