Well if there was a rating for realistic accuracy I would give it to you. It looks like a fair amount of work went into making this a real as possible. I don't know what else to say.

From jd@surveyor.in-berlin.de:
Good idea. A more distinctive gradient (if there is any already) at the sky
would had helped. Maybe also some rocks in the foreground, looking out of 
the sand.

A very nice landscape but not a complete image.

=====
From javaearl@hotmail.com:
Pretty plain, but great for the "wilderness" aspect.

From warp@iki.fi:
Good, but a bit boring image. Can't score high because there's so little to
judge about.

I guess there should be some stones over Mars' surface...

From mark.wagner17@gte.net:
You really need to add something (I'm not sure what, 
though) to give this a sense of scale.  Right now, it 
could be anything from a giant canyon on Mars to a set 
of eroded tire tracks in the desert.  Also, you might want 
to try converting the heightfield to a MegaPOV 
isosurface so you can add some finer detail than the 
heightfields show, such as cracks and small bumps.

From chris_hormann@gmx.de:
Good visualisation of martian terrain, the artistic aspect is somewhat
missing :-) you should have given the source of the dem-data (I'm just to
lazy to search)

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Interesting.  How does it look *without* the vertical stretching?

=====
From albiaprime@aol.com:
Artistic - Very simple sort of landscape look
Technical - Nothing too complex form the appearance
Concept - Is it possible to think of this picture as a wilderness?
