===== From ekaiser@camden.tds.net: the rocks and martian plain are real good. The rock is too bright red though. ===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: I like the concept. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Okay... this is the exact idea I had... I ended up doing something else... I was going to have the lander in a heap... beside some deserted alien outpost. The landscape needs more to it... perhaps some hills.... the red dirt needs to look more like... dirt. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Good concept, when you see it written, the image is not as good at carrying all of the meaning of this. ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: Really good background story, I wish you would've had the time to give it a bit more time and thought. The ground is particularly dull. If that's the case in Mars, it might've been presented in a bit less prominent manner to give space to something really interesting. Some points: - The lander looks interesting. Why not go closer? - The Martian Stonehenge is a nice idea, but it could me much more than some bumpmapped straight cones. - The sky is fairly romantic. I think it could've been used in a more dramatic manner, if so was pleased. - The plane-based ground encountering flat-looking sky in the horizon doesn't really give the best possible feeling of being anywhere in the real world. Good elements you had there. Some additional composition and a bit better angle of view would've made this one still a lot better. ===== From jd@surveyor.in-berlin.de: Hey, I think the probe must be upside down! This image is a fake! ;-) ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Interesting concept. I like the texture of the ground, and the use of heightfields for the small rock formations. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Clever idea. Nice study in brick and orange. The poor lander really looks forlorn. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: Looks like a space image. Those spiky things remind me of something, but I don't know what. The text file is way too long.
