===== From philip.chan@home.com: You've done a excellent job creating the feel of impending battle. The fire is a nice effect, however it looks as if it was floating above the torch rather than coming from it. ===== From thomas_alun@lineone.net: Nice image, but I think the crackle texture on the walls is a bit too obvious. ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: The area around the sword looks. The texture on the walls looks funky. The shadow from the spear that hits the outer wall is to sharp. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Nice room... the various weapons look good. It seems to me the bright light outside the room unbalances the scene a little... my eye is drawn to the right side of the scene. Nice flame effect. Stone textures could use a little work. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: A lot of good work here. Particularly on the mirror, sword, and glass. But the eye zings all around the image, with all its sharp lines and bright surfaces. I think the lighting should be more subdued, particularly towards the top of the image, in order to draw more attention to the sword. ===== From tm-ray@consistent.org: The beaten copper mirrors are beautiful, but the reflection is nonphysically bright to the point that I intially had trouble understanding what I was seeing. I'm somewhat less happy with the stone. The swords are great, although it seems the "mystical" sword should be more different from the other, plainer swords in the room. You're a better artist than poet. :)
