Wow, I really taken with this image.  Beautifully done.  Good color choices.  It
has a sort of whimsical feeling to it.  You say it's unfinished, really?  I can
hardly imagine anything you can add that would make it better.  Any sense of
movement or action would ruin the layout and feel of the image.

Good job.  Smart choice to pay most of your attention on the texturing.  The
layout is simplistic yet works well.  The textures make this image a winner. 
One of my top 10.

My only complaint is that I would like to have seen a little bit more detail on
the left-most tree and the fence.  They appear far too 'clean'.

Again, good job.

I wonder what you could have made with more time. The textures are really
splendid , in particular for the leaves. An interesting location for the
camera, and though simple, a smart composition of the scene. Great !

From YaelParis@operamail.com:
very nice and colorful image though not original! Maybe the background
heigthfield doesn't suit in this picture, i'd rather see green hills. Quite a
good work anyway, I'm not sure my submission worth yours ;-)

great work on the textures for the trees. A nice showcase of the maketree
macro.But 
composition could use more work

Quite excellent, nice use of scale.

I can see why the textures took so long.  Those are some of the most realistic
trees I have ever seen.  I hope you get the tec merit award.

From ianshumsky@hotmail.com:
Gilles Tran's macros are really powerful tools and you 
have used them well here. I like the flowers, though a 
little more variation in colour and size would have been 
nice.

From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk:
Seems off-topic. The fence could be more weathered.

From ameede@madmac.com:
The theme is there, however there isn't much of a story within it other than
it is what it is a garden

From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
It is a nice picture and a nice way to see a garden.
The trees are good but somehow they look a bit odd to me.
Maybe the branches are too strong.

From jaime@ctav.es:
Very good lighthing! At last, a realistic sunlight! The scene remebers me the
one
of the flying pigs from NO13, but it's surely bcos you use Giles Tran fabulous
trees. Very nicely arranged and composed.

Technical - good
Artistic - nicely balance
Theme - nice garden

From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au:
This is a nice image to look at. The elements look good and composition is
pleasing, but to my mind this looks more like a field or a "fence and trees"
than a garden.
