===== From chris@bluelectrode.com: The terrain and bushes look good, but that sphere is out of place. Granted you can have it there "because you like it" but it really should have had a purpose other than balancing the scene. It really doesn't balance the scene. In actually it gives it a lopsided appearance. Really, you would only have had to balance the scene with the sphere had there been some large formation on the left side. To be honest, even with the sphere, the image looks a bit drag and dull. And is it me or are those bushes growing on stalagmites? ===== From YaelParis@operamail.com: weird picture! ===== From rbyman@rockies.net: uhhh...the weird sphere really sticks out don't you think? 25 hrs? ===== From ianshumsky@hotmail.com: I really like 'noise within noise' leaf texture. ===== From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk: Seems off-topic. Lose the ball. I like the textures. The lighting seems a little dark? ===== From ameede@madmac.com: There is some interest in achieving certain effects using your software but there is no real personal connection between you the artist and what the garden has to do with you. ameede@madmac.com ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: The leafy texture is just marvellous. A pity some of the leaves are not connected by any means to the ground ... I also like the ball with its shiny and matt parts. The rock texture could be better (too smooth looking). A strange concept of a garden, certainly novel. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Technical - good use of random generator Artistic - interesting says it, but the missing trees trunks and incomplete tree trunks unfortunately detract from a nice scene Theme - garden? well...sort of.... (get rid of the ball)
