===== From jon@vulpecula.us: Very nice. I like this. Really cool juxtaposition of the upper and lower worlds. Great use of the lens flare; I love the way the upper half is so glaring and cold feeling. Very nice. However...the lower world really doesn't feel "hot and tropical" to me...possibly because it doesn't seem very bright or sunny. The torches and the dim reddish light don't seem to work too well IMHO. ===== From helene.dumur@free.fr: A very original idea and a very nice picture. I like the torchs in the lower world. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: An interesting concept! Good lighting & modeling. The birds are a nice touch. Water could be better. ===== From thegreatbambeeno@yahoo.com: not so good on the theme, but man, you have one pleasing image right there. ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: This is a beautiful scene, especially due to the lighting. The textures might need some more work to live up to this wonderful concept of hidden/forgotten mysteries from the past. Great work. ===== From pbrasolin@yahoo.it: Cool image. I like especially the upper world. PB ===== From info@michaelscholz.de: I would have expected more from a radiosity solution, expecially the very dark parts of the wall in the foreground seem odd. Nice concept. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: I like this one! The composition shows your creativity. If I could add something here, I’d like to see depth blur, but that could just be my taste. ===== From zio_tom78@hotmail.com: Strange and surreal. Although I cannot see a common meaning which ties Atlantis with the many oddities of this image. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Nice overall scene. One thing I would have done is to remove the snow in the lower left corner, as it does not look too good close-up (works fine in the distance though). ===== From emediez@emediez.com: I like the concept. ===== From intertek@one.net: Very interesting! What happened to Spring and Fall? You've improved a = lot since the Architecture round! I can't wait to see what you come up = with for Surrealism! Michael ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: I like the way you tried to draw contrasts between the upper and lower = worlds. One thing that would emphasize this more would be to have even = more distinction between the two color palettes, say a cool blue for the = top and a warm orange for the bottom. ===== From file: Certainly mysterious, and quite interesting. Notable for lighting ===== From file: cool idea. I hope it wins something Notable for composition, originality, lighting
