===== From bfranke2@home.com: I really had to mess with the gamma and contrast to make something of this. It is a good start, you just need to add more detail in the scorpions. ===== From rjhansen@hotbot.com: The image is really dark. Keep working, your skills will improve. ===== From Stickgod01@aol.com: What this actually looks like (and what I thought it was) was small sculptors made out of sand by some children of scorpions. The scorpions are too rounded, but the general form is nice. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Hmmm... la luz es un tanto extra_a: debil y con un alcance plano. ===== From darce@southwest.com.au: wayyyy too dark! ===== From tony@j4tb.com: Your scorpions look good but need slightly more detail. Your lighting seems off for a night shot give the lighting a bluer tint (Like on TV) ===== From jd@surveyor.in-berlin.de: Too dark, too blobby. Way to go. ===== From tlyons@gnn.com: too dark ===== From javaearl@hotmail.com: Very believable sand. The animals are nearly camoflaged (pretty neat.) ===== From warp@iki.fi: The image is way too dark. Although night is dark it doesn't mean that the overal brightness of the image should be dark too. A more or less bright and blueish moonlight and a high contrast between lit and shadowed parts could have worked a lot better. I can't judge your scorpion model because I can't see any details of it due to the darkness. ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: Really good for a first image with pov! The blob scorpion looks somewhat blobby :-) You could try to model it using conventional shapes. Good texturing, but image is much to dark ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: A bit basic. Some more emphasis in creating the surroundings and the modelling of the scorpions would've given this submission quite a boost. Not bad for a first POV try, though. Keep it up! ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Very nice... the rocks in particular look good. The texture on the ground is nice, but could use some work so it doesn't look completely flat. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Nice rich color scheme. Excellent for a first-time POV-Ray scene. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Artistic - Simple but somewhat pleasing Technical - Nicely shaped scorpions but they might look a little better if they were less rounded. Concept - Hard to picture wilderness here. ===== From file: The scorpians should have been shinier perhaps? ===== From file: Far too dark to make out any details.
