===== From robbert@mintec.ca: It could have used some antialiasing. ===== From pokorny@attglobal.net: A good first entry and I hope your dream date comes to pass. I have the following suggestions. A scene of this complexity would look better if you can render it larger. I found the sky beautiful, but the orientation of colors odd, but perhap because the moon is there you intended this? The ground should slope into water. This grass is too uniform and does not look quite right to me. Take a look at the "19th Century Ruins" image by Bob Franke for the IRTC ruins round. I have always like this image in large part because I think the field of grass looks good. the water. ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: Nice to have you with us.
