I really like this. You did a great job of creating a truly Surreal picture.
Only problem is...too bad you didn't save this image for the July-August round
(topic: Surrealism). I'm not sure that surrealism is necessarily "mystery." It
is mysterious in a way though...you feel something important is being conveyed
by the image, you just aren't sure what. I really like the train and the
balloons.

From helene.dumur@free.fr:
A very good picture for the next topic... surrealism !

=====
From rgow@lanset.com:
Good image, very nicely done! Connection to topic is weak though... I think you
made this one round too soon!

From hildurka@simnet.is:
The composition of this image is wonderful. I think you really succeded in your
efforts. Great work!

From somers@w-link.net:
The grass looks very good.
train in the background adds a nice touch.
 people look very nice.

WHERE is the mystery?

From pbrasolin@yahoo.it:
It's really a good image. The first thing I thought was "who's that woman?".
After looking for details i noticed the man and the photo... maybe the same
person? The train and the aerostatic ballons give the scene a sense of...
tension. The house seems to be... strange: no doors, no stairs, a strange
illumination and an unreachable room on the first floor. The bent house fence
is a nice detail. The grass and the pavement look great. Also the sky is very
good. In my opinion, you've reached your objective. PB

Nicely done, among my favourite :-)

From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com:

The colors in this image match surreal work quite well.  Though I_m not sure
someone would think _Mystery_ from looking at this image.

P.S.  Bet you can guess what the current IRTC topic is J

I do not fully understands the link with the current topic. The train and the
sofa are very good! I bet you will join next IRTC round...

From p_chan@shaw.ca:
The grass is done very well.  The trick of fading works 
well as the switch from the true grass to the simple 
texture is not noticalbe.  I find the texture for the bridge 
looks somewhat out of place in the scene when 
compared to the other textures as it is too uniform in 
colour.  As for the difficulties you had with the for and 
sky, does 3D Studio Max not have "ground fog"?  (Fog 
with a density which varies along the y axis.)

From emediez@emediez.com:
Congratulations! A -truly- surreal scene, whose reasoning I agree with
completely. Although it seems mismatched with the -now- current topic, the
validity of the topic is alive and well in this interpretation.  I love it.

From glenn@mccarters.net:
This looks very much like a Magritte or Delvaux.  Good consistent style =
throughout the scene.  Obviously it would fit "surrealism" better than =
"mystery" though!
I think the image would be improved if the building on the left was not =
directly visible -- it de-emphasizes the main building (and the trumpet =
man) too much.  For some reason I don't like that the tether anchors for =
the balloons are hidden .  Odd lighting (look at the shadows carefully), =
but it works well.  The train and Victorian room are superb.  Nice =
touches like the stains under the windows.
Maybe you didn't "break any laws of physics", but I cannot imagine how =
to get to the upper floor!

I like this picture - lots of interesting things to look at. I had a hard time
adjusting my monitor to see the figure in the shadows, however. I did not
notice him at first glance - he blends into the wall too much. Would be a good
picture for the "Surrealism" round. :)
