===== From bfranke2@home.com: Very nice. I like the effect with the sun. I think I was at this place a couple of weeks ago, only it was on the Washington coast. My only thought for improvement is to reduce the effect with the sun. ===== From rjhansen@hotbot.com: The image does a good job of conveying mood. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: Your water looks very nice especially the waves. The birds also look good. The image gives me a cerene feeling the only think I would do is tone down the atmostpheric refraction a tad. ===== From jd@surveyor.in-berlin.de: The colors of the sky are reminding me on some sixties spotlight bubble color effect filter. ===== From javaearl@hotmail.com: Fantastic shadowy figure in the foreground, and great atmosphere (looks watery; very cool.) Great flock of birds. ===== From warp@iki.fi: Some vegetation could have done good to this image. Not too bad this way, though. The clouds look a bit unrealistic (should have highlighted and shadowed areas according to the direction of the sun). The concept is rather good. ===== From whitey@telefragged.com: I just don't know.. very "noise filter" textures. Not that great.. ===== From luisvaloyes@malditasea.zzn.com: I specially like the beach, but the heads of the birds look a little strange. ===== From dmacisaacj@hotmail.com: don't care for use of color, and such a fiery sunset is worthy of better reflection in the water. ===== From dearmad@sapere.com: good job on a nice picture ===== From mark.wagner17@gte.net: VERY nice job! ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: really beautiful interpretation, you should leave out the sun (it could be below the horizon), everything else looks really good ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: Artistic, if a bit bare. The sun is really odd, but it adds a lot to the feeling in the image. Well done, although I would've played a bit with the lighting (even if you said it's intended to be dark...). Well done with the plain text editor, love that tool myself, too... ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: I like the mood of this one... it gives a very nice sense of quiet desolation. The 'rippling sun' effect works well, and the birds look nice. The sky seems a little blotchy in places. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: An almost-excellent image, but something strikes me as unreal. Maybe it is the "modified pteranodons", particularly the closer one on the right. Or maybe it is the not-quite-right color swirls in the salmon sky. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Artistic - Very nice Technical - The birds are very well done, as is the surf and the sun. Concept - Wilderness doesn't come to mind.
