===== Lens Flare. Bad. ===== If it weren't for all the speckling, it would look much better. Cheap, using lense flare in the background to get around the ban on image editing. ===== The image is not valid !!!! -> lense flare filter with Photoshop. ===== I would have rated this a bit higher if it weren't for the "static" in the image. ===== too speckly, and lens flare is illegal buddy. ===== I don't like the speckly foreground. I also don't like how you tried to be sneaky with lens flair ===== Is this "post-processed"? ===== nice lens flare. why so speckled, tho'? ===== Very nice, but I think the lens-flare breaks the rules. Next time use PhotoShop less and Renderray more ===== Is the static on this image intentional? ===== Very nice looking image. That /is/ snow, right? First I thought it was stars, then I thought it was simulating some B-movie film degradation or tv static... A snow effect that would help would have the sky fading to dark grey, and any distance light sources a bit more obscured and difused by falling snow. ===== Nice idea, goo scene and cool objects and lights. But why is it so grainy? It looks terrible. Is it supposed to be snowing or something? How about some description? ===== I don't think Photoshop lense flare was allowed in this competition. Also more need to be done with the big center building. ===== Has a nice "Classic Scifi" feel about it. ===== Is that snow falling? I like the star effect with the halos arround the large stars ===== Cool! ===== I gave a low technical score because the author used PhotoShop for retouching, and I'm unclear about what was done to it. This is, after all, the "raytracing" competition. Very cool image, however, that's probably my favorite. ===== Very realistic !! ===== Only voting on one of your pictures. ===== This is a ray-tracing competition, not an electronically-generated image competition. ===== The entire background is from Photoshop :( ===== Very pretty image, but I think you cheated on the lens flare. Good use of color and texture. You submitted way too many pictures, and not enough descriptions on any of them. ===== Notable for composition, lighting, textures ===== Notable for composition, lighting, textures
