===== From bfranke2@home.com: For improvement I would put the grasshopper in sharp focus. It looks pretty good, so show it off. ===== From Stickgod01@aol.com: Great! Even the name of the image is good. I really like the idea for the praying mantis. It would be better if the focus was more on him, but either way, it's a very good image. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: Your grasshopper looks great Your swallows look good also. Your grass looks good but I am not sure I understand how you did it. I see the cones but not the spheres. ===== From javaearl@hotmail.com: Humorous concept. Like the "funny" grass. ===== From warp@iki.fi: You should try using "variance 0" in the focal blur to get rid of the graininess. ===== From luisvaloyes@malditasea.zzn.com: very original point of view ===== From dmacisaacj@hotmail.com: truly a bugs life view. I liked it ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: Very beautiful, good modelling work on the animals, perhaps some closer look on the grasshopper would be good (model looks quite detailed) ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: Picturing things (especially grass) from this distance sets the a darned high standard. Matching that is quite a job, so a little more work with the grass blades would still have made this one stand out better. Nice modelling and composition otherwise, though. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Somewhat simplistic but has a nice look to it. Love the grasshoppers, and the birds have a nice shape. I like the somewhat luminescent quality of the grass. ===== From file: I can comment my own picture? Good! The JPEG comment would show it anyways, but in the txt file there is a copy-and-paste-error: I haven't used gimp for transformation this time, but xv 3.10.
