===== From digitalburn@totalise.co.uk: very nice. my one complaint is it seems to be a bit flat, almost as though blue nylon had been stretched over it. ===== From elvish_archer@mailcity.com: any dream will have a lot of fantasy colors ===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: My expectations shoot way up when people use expensive stuff like Bryce and Lightwave, but they were met here. Technical merit got hit due to dearth of objects. This is approaching what I would call an "object photo", where one highly detailed object completely dominates the scene. ===== From pbourke@swin.edu.au: Lovely image, good irregular ocean, excellent view of the heavens. ===== From wagner-michael@web.de: The picture is great, but the best part is this sky - which is a image map. ===== From panthus@xtra.co.nz: Beautiful picture, could be sold as a poster. Very good rolling sea and eerie blue lighting. I don't know Bryce so I don't know how much work this is. ===== From dvnss@mega.ist.utl.pt: Strong image. I see it as the dreamlike sight Columbus had when they arrived at the new world. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: I love it! Nice surreal image....the mood is consistent. ===== From douge@nls.net: Very nice looking image; pleasing to the eye, good composition, excellent color scheme. ===== From tony@j4tb.com: I love your image. It is something I would want to put on my wall in my office. The piece is very well composed. ===== From whitey@telefragged.com: Not the most original thing in the world, but it's pretty. ===== From nitschk@ranke.be.schule.de: Fantastic ===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: I thought the sea turned out exceptionally well. I like the interpretation of theme. ===== From bbowen@cswnet.com: I like that sky. You don't list Lightwave as a tool, so did you model it? ===== From angelaperry@webcombo.net: A very lovely image. It imbues the sea theme with a evocative, dreamlike quality. The colors followed the dream idea well, also. (Not to mention, I love clipper ships.) Great job! ~A. Perry ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Great ! Very artistic. ===== From rickh@net2u.com: How come your image is copyright 1999? ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Very colorful and fantastical in mood. The ship looks good. The water has kind of a solid feel to it, though, and may be a bit too reflective in places. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: I think Mars is too large in this picture. It would be nice to see more ship detail in this picture; maybe put the "camera" on one of the other ships, then you'd have one ship in the distance, and another "around" the "camera". ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: You've achieved a very interesting image here with the various techniques used, it doesn't look hand painted nor CG nor realistic, but manages to convey a feeling of adventure and movement. I'll see if I can find any Mary Black on Napster, you get an extra point for mentioning your render music, (listened to Mike Oldfield's Moonlight Shadow while looking at this image). ===== From went@netcourrier.com: Very nice image. But maybe you should have used less known astronomy images (this view of Mars and the Horsehead nebula). ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: "turn good your day"? Oh well. The pastel monotone is a little much. The ship is nice, and so are the waves.
