===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: I'm still not sure whether using an external program to do the motion blur falls within the rules of the competion: as far as I know motion blur was explicitly mentioned as something that was not legal (5f, last two lines). Also, this image is a bit on the dark side, which makes it difficult to see what is happening. ===== From tyler@cg1.org: Wow, that's some NIIIICE looking water. ===== From cmiles79@iinet.net.au: It might be my monitor but this picture looks way to dark. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Wheel looks good, what I can see of it, but image is too dark IMO. ===== From matthew-bradwell@melton-mowbray.freeserve.co.uk: As you say, more time would have produced a great image. ===== From suso@suso.org: I like the camera angle that you used. ===== From slone@hiwaay.net: Very nice angle, but the water seems a bit odd. The lighting is excellent but the textures could be more realistic to take advantage of it. The shadows are too sharp. Nice paint texture.
