===== From darce@southwest.com.au: Nice scene, once you crank the brightness on your monitor fully (way too dark otherwise). ===== From tony@j4tb.com: A nice interpretation. Your fish look great. You might want to save them for the next round. ===== From jd@surveyor.in-berlin.de: Too dark. Some self glowing fishes around here would had made a nice effect. ===== From eallen@highway1.com: My monitor is usually about the right brightness to view most entries, but your image was way too dark. I had to bring the image into Photoshop and adjust it in order to even see the whale. ===== From karl@pemail.net: This picture is too dark to see any detial ===== From spencer@early.com: Nice, although a bit too dark. ===== From javaearl@hotmail.com: I love dark colors; great job. Very interesting concept. ===== From warp@iki.fi: The image is TOO DARK! You should have definitely used brighter light sources (or brighter textures if that's what's dim). I can't see a damn. I'll try setting the brightness of my monitor up... Ah, now I see something. Even at max brigthness the image is dim and dull, pretty flat. A brighter light source would have made the image more live, more 3D... more visible. ===== From luisvaloyes@malditasea.zzn.com: good image, I think you could have rotated each fish just a little to make the entire group's behaviour look more realistic, but in general is a good work ===== From dmacisaacj@hotmail.com: Way too dark to enjoy ===== From dearmad@sapere.com: just too dark... ===== From mark.wagner17@gte.net: On my computer, the image was unbelieveably dark. You might want to adjust the gamma correction of your monitor. ===== From chris_hormann@gmx.de: interesting interretation, good work with spatch, the setting is probably a good excuse for the darkness ;-) ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: A bottom-up viewpoint (instead of top-down) would make the "titans" seem bigger. Does a sperm whale really look this skinny? ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Artistic - The fish seem a bit large in comparison to the whale Technical - Nice work on whale and squid, good lighting for a deep ocean setting Concept - More a battle scene but partial marks as is set in the wilderness. ===== From file: Too dark, even though it is underwater.
