===== From StephenF@whoever.com: I like the different look and feel of this one. Nice and colorful. The glitter is a nice touch and looks good, as do the various pipe-cleaner objects. The paper towel roll body on the main butterfly is also a nice little touch, and the scotch tape really helps hold the whole scene together (sorry, couldn't resist!) Nice job. ===== From marlo.steed@home.com: Nice image. The textures look very credible. ===== From marcelocarvajal@ieee.org: What can I say... Your idea is so original that I expected more, even though the final results looks pretty funny. ===== From jhiggins@mooseworld.net: neat idea. ===== From lrwii@janics.com: I can't see the pipe cleaner butterflies very well. There are two many thing crowded togather on the sides. ===== From info@michaelscholz.de: Very cute! Splendid idea. I love it :-) ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Nice objects, with good use of texture. You made a good comment, ". . . the idea for this image came spontaneously. Of course, it took some work to that point." I find that this happens more often than not, and is similar to how I develop the images that I like best. This is a generic note about light and shadows: Light casts shadows. In terms of imagery, however, shadows are a changes in hue or value from one area to another. A change in hue or value is a line. What you have made is a whole bunch of lines that crisscross everything, making object lines indistinct. Since there does not seem to be a visual reasoning (pattern) for this muddling, the image seems confusing due to the lighting. Try softer (more diffuse) lighting. The symbols (such as "pipe-cleaner" outlines representing clouds) you use are interesting. They can be developped a little more, however.
