===== From spanky@wpi.edu: This scene is color crazy! The modeling is superb. ===== From mikko.oksalahti@dosetek.varian.com: And the colors go: "tu-tudu-tudu-tutudu-tu-tudu-tudu-tutudu-tu-tudu-tudu-tutudu- tu-tudu-tudu-tutudu-waaa". Very un-raytracer like and therefore an excellent image. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Nice use of color. ===== From d97ta@efd.lth.se: i love the surreal quality of this image, although it is a bit too garish to make out details at a first glance. some depth fogging might help here. the creatures are among the best i've seen... lovely. the berries (on the left plants) look delicious... ===== From karl@pemail.net: Rather Vivid ! My girlfriend thought it was brilliant, and insisted that I print it out for her ===== From buck@cs.byu.edu: Nice! Very "psychedelic." Nice consistency with textures and style. Can't look at it for very long, tho... :) ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Hmmm... it's excessive, but I like it. ===== From djconnel@flash.net: Wow..... This is an amazing piece of work, and very difficult to score. This is clearly the absolute class of the "alternative nature" images -- with the careful representation of the ecosystem, it is certainly topical, and the modeling and composition of the scene are both excellent. Scoring comes down to opinion, and on images like this where opinions vary, the final score will probably suffer when averaged over all voters. Yet I think it is excellent, and certainly worthy of a top placing. It would be convenient to have an excuse to give it a low score, but the foreground, background, and sky are all very nicely done, so I have to consider it one of the top entries this round. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: retina burn! cool, wild use of color - ouch. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Pretty cute! ===== From 101741.541@compuserve.com: Joyful picture. Highly poetic use of lparser. Seems NTSC (Never Twice Same Color), fine ! ===== From fisher2@pobox.upenn.edu: When I first saw this, I thougt I wouldn't like it, (the bright colors kind of shocking the first time around), but the more one looks at this one, the more it grows on you. Very unusual! I like the "flourescent" colors in this scene! Looks like a late sixties-early seventies poster. :) P.S. I can't seem to find anything resembling a "worm" in your scene. :) ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: This picture knocks me right out of my chair. Each pixel vibrates. Shimmering. Wildly extravagant. ===== From no13@ozemail.com.au: I realy like this image. The colours are fantastic. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: Looks like the style of a book cover artist from the 70s, whose name I can't remember. (This is meant to be a compliment, by the way.) ===== From r@199.45.245.103: I like the color. I'm not sre what to say about the sun, because on the one hand it looks really cool, but on the other hand it makes the overall composition visually confused Notable for textures
