===== From nitro_glis@yahoo.com: very artistic. ===== From philip.chan@home.com: The use of black and white for the background of the scene emphasizes the sadness of the image. I feel the scene could have been improved by having a less formless background which conveyed the greatness of the civilization that has passed. ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: Using black and white can be very interesting, but can be very difficult. Nice try......but It's hard to make out any of your black and white objects on the water. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: I can't understand the image, but it shows good artistry. ===== From tm-ray@consistent.org: There are water, ruins, and lampposts there? I can sort of see the lamp posts after reading the text file, but mainly, I'm wondering what I'm supposed to be looking at. :( Conceptually, the feather could work really well, but the rest of the image is too abstract to make out. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: I think the concept was good, but even with the description in the text file, I can't see what some of the background objects are. I know you used focal blur to make them less clear, but perhaps they should be a bit clearer than they are? ===== From r@client121041.atl.attbroadband.com: Notable for originality, textures, composition, lighting
