===== From loomsbury@yahoo.com: I kind of like the way it looks. It had potential. You should have put alot more detail in the city, and textures need some work. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: The land and trees are nicely done this looks like a good technique to get decent trees & land without spending days rendering fractal trees. I would add some texture to the land though. The moon technique I thought was beautiful (I'll have to try it)Your city buildings would look better with a little texture and the ripples of the water seem too big. ===== From jd@surveyor.in-berlin.de: The water is great, but the bubbles in the sky would had needed some kicking *ss texture and the trees... well, the trees... humpf... and then... focal blur... the lens flare might be even excusable... ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Simple but well done.... nice soft look to the entire image. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: I love the background of this scene... the sky and the water are very nice. The birds, although simple, work well, as does the blurring of the leaves in the foreground. The look and style of the city and the trees doesn't mesh well with the rest of the scene, although the shaping on the three tall buildings looks to be on the right track.
