The concept is surrealistic but the efforts in artistic and technical areas need to back this up.  If the sky had a more realistic or subdued gradient to it, it would help the image dramatically.  Not bad for a first entry.

I really like the concept of the scene.
The objects are all very well modelled. The only thing I didn't like that much was the texture of the trees. They do not look dead enough :)

Cute concept, good sand texture & good umbrella. Tree texture doesn't follow geometry.

Very interesting idea... I could really use one of those rain machines.  The rope is really a great touch.  The trees could be a little more diverse, but I understand how much more work that would take. (A lot)  The sky is a little too blue, could be a little lighter.  Great human figure though, and the umbrella is quite nice.  Good work, keep it up.

I like the concept, but I would like to see more detail, too minimalist for me.

From raytracing@grayproductions.net:
A little more time on the textures and this image would be even better.  Still the idea made me smile.
