From fmurr@free.fr:
Unfortunatelly the topic is not 'Realism'.

=====
From jouni@mikrobitti.fi:
This isn't a Realism round.

=====
From ruy@hipernet.com.br:
The topic is "Spirit of Asia", not realism. Nice picture, but as off-topic as it
can get.

=====
From marlo.steed@uleth.ca:

Nice looking image but the concept was not strong here, at least for me.
=====
From emediez@emediez.com:
Nice light and environment. That's a difficult thing to 
achieve with Bryce. 

=====
From lrwii@joplin.com:
The topic for this round is 'The spirit of Asia'. I don't see 
anything that makes me think of Asia.

From thomas_alun@lineone.net:
Unfotunatly, the topic isn't "Realism"...

From kantell@qup.com:
The technical on this is fabulous.  However, take the banzai tree out and it
feels more like a Spanish villa.
=====
From chris_hormann@gmx.de:
Fairly well done, but quite off-topic IMO.  The topic was not 'Realism' but
'Spirit of Asia'

=====
From jrcsurvey@aol.com:
Very nice image, really  quite atmospheric and with a good amount of detail.

=====
From peter@table76.demon.co.uk:
Only the bonsai tree suggests the topic "Spirit of Asia" to me.

This scene would have struck me as more dramatic had the corner of this room not
disappeared.  Wonderfully modelled and textured though.
