===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: The scene looks a bit confused. I think this is because you've used quite a wide camera angle, and because the lighting makes it hard to distinguish different shapes. The sun is in view which means we should be looking at the dark side of the objects, but they're all very bright, maybe this is due to high ambient brightness? I like the snow flake fractals. :) ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: The sun appears very good. The flares add some realism to the scene. But orange tree textures? Also the tree shapes could be redone, the shadowing on the ground from the trees also shows some bizarre branch shaping. The foot-prints was a good idea, however they appear too large, and too flat in this scene. You also may want to texture the rocks so they look like rocks. The stream looks ok from this distance though. ===== From rjhansen@myrealbox.com: You achieved a nice bright, sparkly, snowy feel. ===== From pokorny@attglobal.net: Don't bears hibernate in the winter? :-) Image captures the feel of being in the woods in winter very well. ===== From tom@tomandlu.co.uk: Visually very striking - I like the texture on the trees. ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: To bright! After I adjusted the gamma, I like the way the snow meets the creek. ===== From file: Nice snowflakes
