===== From exether@demo.xandmail.com: You know what ? Doing an earth among trash was also an idea of mine, so you guess it deserves a high Concept mark ! I don't think I would have succeeded so well too. I think the ground concrete, the wall and the grass at the wall's foot could be improved, they look too flat IMHO. I also remarked that all the bins have exactly the same texture and bumps ... ===== From noe.falzon@tiscali.fr: That's excellent ! I had that kind of idea too ! We are just a few atoms just good enough for trash... That's a great realisation for a great idea. ===== From god@rajram.com: Being a liberal, I had to agree with the message. However, there are some minor corrections. For one thing, the globe has too much lighting. The shattered glass just doesn't look like glass. Some more intricate shadowing effects would be nice. OTher than that, I'm impressed. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good concept & good job on the trash. (Is that a full beer on the ground?) Texture on the garbage cans seems like it should be vertical rather than horizontal. ===== From panikme@yahoo.com.br: just a cotidian think, I do not see any special in this picture ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: I like the concept very much. You really did a good job with the garbage, I can almost smell it. The only thing that bothers me is the lighing, I guess the shadows are a little dark, which makes the overall image a bit too dark and difficult at first to see what´s in there. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Good concept. Some nice modeling and textures. Though I think some areas could be a bit more rounded on the edges of the lids? ===== From Knight-Graphics@earthlink.net: I love the moon. Lighting is a little dark in the shadows. Continue to push the limits of your imagination (and your computer). ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Earth looks very good - the layers work very well together. One thing which would have added to the "junkiness" of the scene would be to have beaten up, dented garbage cans. ===== From just_a_guy_@hotmail.com: We just throw the earth away! Great message. ===== From slone@hiwaay.net: Great image with a lot of nice touches. The brick wall looks good, and the trash cans are realistic, though you can see the polygon nature of the round openings and lids. The glowing atmosphere behind the earth sphere looks odd, not sure the real earth glows like that, especially to that altitude. The pavement texture looks too smooth. The glass bottles are excellent, and the trash is also very good. You're free to use "Budweiser" label in you images; while the name is trademarked they can't prevent you from using it in your art. Realistically you should be able to see more in the shadows, the blue "glow" looks dimensionless and out of place. ===== From file: LOVE the earth. The trash cans, however, appear to have sides. Either the modelling or texture could improve on that. the puddles could use some highlight of some sort.
