===== From cdsi26@bupers.navy.mil: Good story telling. Sounds strange when referring to a scene but without it we would just have a picture. There is some really good detail here. I especially like the fence. ===== From daffyduckx@hotmail.com: This image has a nice arctic feel to it. Enhanced by the choice of colors and their use. The only thing that hurts the overall impression is the too-smoothly curving fence in the foreground. If the fence had been torn down it would look more jagged. I especially like the yellowish lights with the glow around them and the one glowing through the snow on the dish. Nice touch. ===== From timk@jtse.com: Disappointing. Where's the action from the description? ===== From ameede@madmac.com: A very well made image, you show a good command for your programs. However, after reading your description I was looking for the objects of human concern and I couldn't see any of them, other than the blood on the snow. ameede@madmac.com ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: The realistic elements of landscape and sky are necessary to this sub-genre of sci-fi, and are so well realised that you gotta love this image. ===== From dlauer@optonline.net: You have quite an imagination. ===== From tina@ripco.com: Although technically very well done, I'm not really all that captured by the scene itself. Even with the story, it seems somehow empty, lacking some-detail-or-another that I wish I could actually put to words. ===== From ericf@foothill.net: I like the artistic and technical qualities of this image, just had a hard time seeing the topic embodied in it anywhere. Without the description of the artist, I don't think it would have made any sense to me. There is a hint of violence, but not of the origin. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Sorry. Although technically well executed (especially the snow), the image leaves too many questions unanswered. Here are a few: Where is the big beetle? Why is the fence down? What's the huge antenna for? And the rest of the complex, for that matter? Why can't I connect the text to the image? I like the cold color palette. Obviously a lot of effort put into this scene. Overall: great work, but just too subtle to merit a great concept score. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: This is a very good looking image, but it doesn't tell a story or even indicate what it's about. The fence doesn't look ripped or stretched, it looks as though it was designed and built to look like that. The low marks are because it's so off topic. ===== From file: Looked like horror was an after thought. Notable for modelling, textures
