From chris@bluelectrode.com:
Beautiful image.  My only complaint would be that the red flowers are too
distracting and weight the image to the right.  Had those flowers been
dispersed the image would have been damn near perfect.  Also, the wood texture
on the furniture needs some variation applied to each plank of wood to break
the conformity.

Good job.

This image is incredible, outstanding in every respect. But this is not the
first time I've seen it.  Its been in the e-on gallery (www.e-onsoftware.com)
far longer than the start date of this round.  I had to remove some originality
marks for this.

From trioker@wanadoo.fr:
A stunning realism, indeed. I can hardly found 
something wrong about the picture: maybe the flowers 
at the right are a little too red, or the wood texture
of the table could have some turbulence... but the whole
job is incredibly made. Sinceers congratulations.

Vue d'esprit seems to be really good in generating vegetation. you did a very
nice composition but I'm not sure about the skills required to do such a
picture ;-)

Not bad for a bunch of stock items

I like the painted feel to this. The bench and still life could do with work
on textures.

From ameede@madmac.com:
There is an inviting intimacy to your image, I wish I had a garden like that. 
The only criticism I have is that the foilage in the deep background is
blending in with the trees in the midground area.  It is almost flattening out
the left side of your artwork.  The colors of the flowers and their placement
in the foreground are excellent to help bracket my view towards the table,
objects on the table, and the arbour.  "Gbgarden" is something I could see
hanging on one of my walls.

trees very gray.

From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
Nice garden, a cosy place.
I like the open and closed fuchsia flowers, very recognisable.

From albiaprime@aol.com:
Technical - very, very good (apart from too wide wood grain on table and
benches)
      near full marks!
Artistic - red flowers on right abit too bright, suggest more subdued to fit
rest of picture
Theme - yes, definitely a garden, well done!
