===== From helene.dumur@free.fr: Wonderful ! Everything is wonderful in this picture, the lights, the colours, the harmony of the whole picture.. I don't speak english well enough to write more, it's beautiful ! ===== From exether@demo.xandmail.com: Very nice picture, impressive landscape. From a scientific point of view, I'm not sure that such a landscape could exist, because gravitational forces from the giant planet tend to heat and melt the satelite, just like Io (satellite of Jupiter) which is very volcanic. But I'm just being picky. ===== From p.gibellini@teinos.com: An interesting landscape: the effect is very nice! ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: This image is nice - the lighting and atmospheric affects creates a nice mood. ===== From kernal_the@hotmail.com: Great Image; the planet, solar rays, and sky really add to the effectiveness of the image. ===== From pbrasolin@yahoo.it: Simply spectacular. //----------------Paolo Brasolin ===== From caleb@netactive.co.za: Excellent picture! I scored you high for technical and artistic, but I did score you lower on theme, as I didn't feel the link with the topic was made strongly enough. For instance, the same picture could be used if the topic were "space" or "other worlds" or "planets", etc. It is a little harsh that the concept part of the scoring is weighted equally with technical and artistic merit, because your picture is really very good (I am envious!). Perhaps in future rounds you could concentrate on more on the connection to the theme? Perhaps in future rounds I will try to follow my own advice too :) ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Exceptionally crisp clear image. Superb artistry, one of the best in the competition. I like the hazy mists rising as if they were being pulled by gravity of the gas giant. I like the silhouetted horizon and the sharp-yet-diffuse lighting. I like the no-two-alike textures and the oh-so-hot starlight. I like this image a lot! It uses a lot of borrowed elements, and it really doesn't distinguish past-present-future, but the end result is undeniably tasteful and appealing. ===== From t.degroot@inter.nl.net: Excellent scene. Good concept, original and balanced view. Foreground (beach) seems a little bit too smooth to me, especially if you suggest sand. The texture of the rocks seems also out of place: they have no relation with the landscape. There should be some outcrops were they appear to come from by erosion. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Nice work! I think the lighting and mood of this scene is done well. The ground fog seems too abrupt and thick to me. ===== From file: Notable for textures, composition, lighting ===== From file: This is very atmospheric and the lighting is great. I don't know if adding say - a space rover or something in the foreground would have improved it - I don't know but it's worth a try if in my opinion. But it's a good composition. ===== From file: Notable for textures, composition
