Nice concept, artistically pleasing, good use of height fields.  The plants take
away from the scene though.  Their flatness, much like a game would have, and
even some texture distortion is quite obvious.  Pretty good image overall.

Thanks for all the description of how it has been created ! You're rare !

From rgow@lanset.com:
A good concept and good ground textures.  IMO would benefit from lower camera
angle to make the town stand out.  There appears to be artifacts on the
background height_fields.

From i-mcnamara@cornellcollege.edu:
A very good work.  I like the idea of having more than just an empty desert
landscape (not that there is anything wrong with that) and the ruined buildings
really do help create a sense of being alone.  The plants, especially those
that are farther back from the camera look pretty good, and the hills in the
background look good (apart from a few slight shadowing errors (?)).  Oh, and I
love the sky.  I'm not sure if it would help, but a bit more shadowing might
work to make the Saloon building seem a bit more 3D.  As it is, the bright
outside distracts my eye from the rest of the picture.  I'm starting to sound
artistic, so I'll wrap this up.  It_s a great picture, and I look forward to
seeing more of your work in the future.

a very interesting sky

I grew up near a ghost town, an empty place of seveal old houses, so I wish I
liked this image more.  I think its the textures that just don't work for me. 
Especially something different for the hills, to differentiate it from the
flat.  The texture on the houses was also just too monolithic for my tastes.

From raytracing@grayproductions.net:
Definitely a nice image.  It's obvious you put a lot of thought and time into
it.  The ground texture gets a little repetitive in the rear and the building
don't stand out quite as much as they could, but these are minor complaints. 
Great work.

Maybe the mountains needed their own image_map.  They look just like the valley
badlands.
