===== From sshaw@fas.harvard.edu: I took a look at the page for the orbiter, and found no fault with your recreation of the pod (other than perhaps colors and finishes; it didn't seem to me that it was that reflective). ===== From jerry@hoboes.com: Very nice sky and earth background! The mountains could probably use more work, they look a bit "meshy", or too geometric. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Excellent composition, but image is too obviously or crudely "raytraced". ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Quite a nice setting, but what might be the burner flame seems more like glass sphere that's dissolving towards the left. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Good sense of solitude. ===== From davidwilkinson@cwcom.net: Very current history! I like the focus on the gondola, but the mountains don't come out too well. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Nice image, topical as well as on topic. ===== From 101741.541@compuserve.com: Overall good composition, camera tilt is appropriate. There is some confusion between the mountains and the bottom of the balloon. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: 1999 as history - well, why not :-) ? Yesterday is now history after all.
