===== From tony@j4tb.com: I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to convey here. Your insect looks nice though it seems sort of pasted on the background. ===== From harlidobib@redshift.com: That's a beautiful dung beetle, but I'm not sure how that connects to the topic. ===== From javaearl@hotmail.com: Great bug skin texture, as well as desert sand. Strange concept, but it works. ===== From luisvaloyes@malditasea.zzn.com: excellent image, the insect is really cool, very realistic ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: Good work on the surfaces, the ball needs some more roughness IMO ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: A remarkably smooth and round stone you've got there! ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Very nice... I like the shaping on the beetle, and the texturing on the beetle and the ground look good. I also like the way the background fades out in the distance. The prominence of the logo is kinda distracting, though. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Artistic - Nice picture. Reminds me of something I would see on a postage stamp Technical - Excellent job on the dung beetle. Concept - No wilderness here ===== From file: Very nice texturing on the desert floor and the beetles back.
