===== From uwezi@geocities.com: the dog as the second important object would need more work... Just a question... in Germany and Sweden the drainage gratings are oriented perpendicular to the sidewalk so that bicycles are not cought in them when passing over.... ===== From tglover@nettally.com: Nice, nice, nice. Great grass. Nice concept (we were thinking along the same lines of non-human smelly landmarks!) Sidewalk texture seems a litlle granite-like -- but I've seen sidewalks like that. Was lighting from behind dog to de-emphasize her face? I like the slant light, but if dog's face was up to it, it might have been better from other side. Which drunk mows the lawn? Those tracks seem to be at a definite anbgle to the lay of the lawn !? Nice touch, tho. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: The dog looks static. Well if you asked me to do one even half as good as yours you'd probably laugh at the result, but that's not the point. The flowers and the lawn are great - except you'd expect stripes to be parallel to one side or the other. Good concept. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Good textures. I like the mowing stripes on the lawn. Where is the shadow of the dog's owner? ===== From autumn@sinbad.net: From a personal choice, I prefer to score slightly lower for technical scores when key figures in a scene are borrowed from other sources (ie, the dog). Beyond that, it's a well put together scene. :{) ===== From clem@dhol.com: Interesting idea. Funny. The dog is too stiff. I like the flowers. A fur macro (for grass and dog) would have elevated this image.
