===== From jon@vulpecula.us: THe grass looks pretty good. THe sword looks WAY too big though, compared to the tree. And I really dont "get" what this is about... ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good modeling & grass. Scene needs more to it though, because even with your description I am not entirely sure how it fits the topic. ===== From thegreatbambeeno@yahoo.com: you have a cylinder for a tree. WHAT IS THAT???? i dont know. bad image. ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: The light does suggest dawn. The overall feel is quiet and still. But there are technical issues. The grass lookes strange, like it_s moving, but the colors and textures on the contrary look great. I think this might be a problem with aliasing. Rendering in a bigger format and downsampling might solve this. Great work. ===== From pbrasolin@yahoo.it: Nice image, quite mysterious too. PB ===== From info@michaelscholz.de: I know the tale of a sword thrust into a stone... but into gras? ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Few elements in the scene, though that certainly does not judge on weather your scene is great or not. I think in the current setup it would be strongly needed to improve the detail (sword/tree/grass). I know there are lots of limits in Blender, but you can still push it farther than this. Hope to see more work from you in the future and keep at it. ===== From zio_tom78@hotmail.com: It has mistery in it, sure! Perhaps too much... The grass is very good, as well as the wood texture used for the tree. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The grass seems to me to lack depth (i.e. it looks like a flat texture), but this is probably an effect of the camera angle. Perhaps the glint of sunrise on the sword's blade would help to convey the feeling of dawn. ===== From emediez@emediez.com: Nice angle. I think it needs more elements to convey the description. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Somehow it seems to be more like sunset than dawn. Maybe it's the warm = gold light. The grass is really good but it seems to be in motion in some areas. = Also seems mossy. ===== From file: This would be greatly improved by a definite and sensible focus - work on composition. I can't distinguish the footprints, and the "fog" confuses the grass. You need to add items of interest for the viewer, and draw out the sense of mystery in the picture. Consider it a work in progess, and go fix it. :)
