===== From darwallace@earthlink.net: The beach texture hurt the art score. ===== From dvnss@mega.ist.utl.pt: The sand looks like a sea of blood!! Creepy But nevertheless it look good... ===== From douge@nls.net: Why the pink sand? ===== From tony@j4tb.com: I am impressed you made your own editor. 2 points on the picture. Your beach looks more like lava than sand. A pigment change would fix that IMO. 2nd the image is a little too small. Most people around here like 800x600 though 640x480 is acceptible. Keep up the good work. You'll get it eventually. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: This might not win the IRTC but is one of the small handful that could be commercially successful. I'll bet more customers in an art gallery would pay money for a print of this than the actual IRTC winner. ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: There must be a problem with jpeg coding there, the overall image is very green/yellow. A technical problem ? ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Not bad... the sky and sea look good, although the water texture seems a little busy. Not sure about the red color used for the shoreline, though. The boats and gulls look good from the distance. ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: Strange picture, nothing looks quite right about it. The sea seems to blend into the sky and the beach is pink. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: Good job using an older operating system. The scene is too linear to keep my interest for long. . . nice balnace, though. Great use of colors, and I agree with you on the transition from sea to beach.
