===== From skipt1@aol.com: A good concept and the perspective hightlights it well. Of the two areas that dominate the image, the grass and the sky, the sky could use some improvement. Perhaps media clouds or another 3D effect rather then a simple pigment. ===== From povray@doublezero.uklinux.net: I like the image, particularly the grass. The clouds are the one thing that detract from the picture. Also, making the floating dandelion seeds a bit more visible would have been nice. ===== From shevlin@uic.edu: The dandelion flowers are well-modeled. The inversion of perspective (normal things looking big to something small) doesn't work so well for this topic, though. The clouds are also crashing into the horizon; putting the texture on a horizontal plane will help. Nice image, overall. ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: At first glance this looks like a very simple image, but when you take a closer look itīs actually very good. One of my favorites this round. The interpretation of the topic is very straightforeward. I like it. Great work! ===== From renebui@aol.com: Good job. Clouds could be better ===== From phenlikescheese@hotmail.com: Very good picture! One of the best! (If not THE best.) Very good idea, and the artistry is brilliant! ===== From 25ct@lineone.net: Hard to see the ant at first, but nice image/concept. ===== From sshelby@shelbyvision.com: An amazing picture! ===== From Knight-Graphics@earthlink.net: This is fantastic!!! I wish I was this good. You have not only created a stunning piece of artwork, but also interpreted the topic perfectly. This one is my favorite (aside from my own of course), and I suspect you will win first place-- you deserve to. ===== From jacoons@ameritech.net: The grass and dandelion seeds are excellent, but I would have liked a more realistic sky to go along with this. The texturing on the grass is excellent. I would have liked to have seen a glimpse of the "tiny subject" as a size reference. ===== From file: Fantastic! Notable for lighting, composition, textures
