===== From staff@clickquicknow.com: Beautiful Image. There is a white spot in the water (a reflection)? Doesn't seem to fit. All else is great. ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: Your ability at creating believable views from outdoor terrain is remarkable. However, the image is severely hit by the nigh-inexistent connection to the topic. Should the valley have contained some Asia-related buildings and objects equally well made, you would've easily made it to my top five. ===== From ruy@hipernet.com.br: Extremely photorealistic, as usual. The only comment I'd like to make is that the green is to, well, green for a desert picture. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Very nice image. The realism is great. The road actually does look like photo. ===== From emediez@emediez.com: Amazing image with extraordinary lights. It suggests that Shangri La is waiting behind the mountain. ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: I like the overall feel of you picture. The road is to consistently rough from foreground to background. The water looks good, but the bank could use a better waterline. ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: Stupifying realism! And that cool, clean light of yours must certainly be that of Shangri La. Is that a wood texture producing the mountain side at right? ===== From r@proxy1.ntu.edu.sg: Photo-realistic!!! The picture alone is very well composed. But what does it have to do with the title?

Notable for composition, lighting, modelling, textures ===== From file: A nice image, but I'm not so sure about the setting being 'obviously' set in central Asia. I'm impressed with the amount of detail you were able to accomplish in the foreground (the plants and the posts in the road specifically). Although not necessarily at the heart of the topic, a very nice and realistic image nonetheless. Notable for modelling, textures ===== From r@raf-a246.raflinan.is: Notable for modelling
