===== From mikko.oksalahti@dosetek.varian.com: Excellent details but the main idea is missing. ===== From d97ta@efd.lth.se: the planets inside of the atmosphere look a bit out of place, they should be behind the clouds (or so i think). nice touch with the ripples beneath the eart/fire, they are a bit too distinct though. they should have smoother transitions. ===== From ewgr@abaddon.globalnet.co.uk: You certainly "parsed" the concept of nature. Well done. ===== From buck@cs.byu.edu: Nice textures, lighting. The ripples in the water seem kind of like "speed-bumps." Perhaps if the transitions were smoother? ===== From djconnel@flash.net: I've deducted points, because everyone knows the eastern United States is the center of the civilized world :). Just kidding -- nicely done!!! I like the representation of the topic. A few areas which could use improvement: * the flames don't look quite right * The planets look like disks, not spheres. * the flames should be a prominent source of light, I think Still, I really like this one! Note: I can't access your web site. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Modify this and resubmit for the "Elements" competition! Looks like a great deal of work went into this scene, many individual objects are well-detailed, particularly the fire cauldron and the corn, but overall it's just too symbolic for me.
