===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Nice background vegetation, very atmospheric. Though the green fog is too obvious. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good concept & I like the colors. The jungle could probably use more ground plants, and it looks like it stops at the 3rd tree. ===== From jguthkelch@netscape.net: Nice atmosphere. Hot and steamy. I feel the sweat breaking out already. I'm a little unsure about the ivy on the tree trunk, not as good as the rest of the image. However, that said, an excellent picture. ===== From ggargett@attbi.com: I like it. Original concept. Tree texture is a little dark. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: This is great work! One of the best entries yet I've seen this round. ===== From raytracing@grayproductions.net: My wife suggested something darn similar to this, so needless to say, we approve. Do you know her? ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Very nice. However, the amber drop seems to be too bright, it seems to be illuminated by a light source near the camera, that has no effect on the rest of the scene. ===== From bpjackson@woh.rr.com: Not bad, not a used up theme or low-grade quality concept. Good. ===== From david.madore@ens.fr: Amusing clin d'oeil to "Jurassic Park" (and the forest looks very much jurassic indeed). I like that image. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Beautiful. Very original and appropriate use of the theme. The amber looks very good. Amazing for a last minute project. A testament to both your software and your skills. The limited color palette adds drama. The impression of overlapping circles produced by the foliage lends a timeless abstract feel. ===== From MarkNitschke@gmx.de: Very good image. I like the idea. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Excellent work create the jungle environment. I feel that the image does not focus enough on the amber and the insect, but I'm not sure how such a focus could be achieved. ===== From batronyx@alliancecable.net: Not bad for a rush piece. ===== From slone@hiwaay.net: Great work, and amazing you did it so quickly, though you had the trees ready to go. ===== From r@evrtwa1-ar6-4-46-159-115.evrtwa1.dsl-verizon.net: Notable for originality, lighting ===== From r@jerkweed.kiva.net: Great idea and nice scene. I'm not sure whether you are breaking the rules by starting an image before knowing what the topic was though. I guess when you started is a bigger issue.
