===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: very pretty image. I like the colours and sense of business in the sky. The focal blur seems a little inconsistent which suggests the dunes are much smaller and much closer to the camera than the airships, and also suggests the camera's aperture is relatively large compared to the dunes which makes them seem almost like a scale-miniature of real dunes. I know you've noted this in your text but personally I find this apparent shift in scale undermines an otherwise good image. ===== From emkaah@yahoo.com: Colorful and very original. Looks like a carnaval in the sky. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Cool concept! When does the movie come out? Everything looks good, only nitpick is it needs some reference for determining scale. Cant tell if the center airship is huge and the ones around it normal size, or if its normal and the ones around it are tiny. ===== From i-mcnamara@cornellcollege.edu: That's an interesting idea. The sand looks good, the clear sky looks nice and doesn't distract from the ships (as you intended), and the ships are well modeled. The focal blur might be a bit on the distracting side though, I wasn't able to tell what it was at first and it made the sand seem too smoothly lit (Variation rules!). The ships right in front of the station, the small ones, seem distorted somehow... But still, a very nice image. ===== From skirsch@comcast.net: No desert is completely devoid of life! ===== From klynn@telefish.net: This would make an interesting animation! ===== From jacoons@ameritech.net: Interesting image, but what I see "high up" looks like confetti, which also starts too abruptly in the middle of the image. I think the "unrealistic focal blur" takes away from the image. I would like to see some of the blimps creating shadows in the sand. ===== From ericf@foothill.net: The air is a little too busy for my tastes, and the dunes are too indistinct. The airships are modeled well, but it's hard to see their connection to the scene or to each other. ===== From raytracing@grayproductions.net: Visually interesting to say the least. Where's the circus? :D ===== From file: Well.... Notable for textures, modelling ===== From file: Awesome. The sky is so casually excellent!
