===== Very concise description! Good swarm of birds, but the island isn't very realistic. Plants could perhaps do with a little more detail when viewed so closely? ===== Nice! ===== If you want to get some good ratings you'd better include a discription of the image and its creation. Next time. ===== Awesome object placement. Nice sense of foreboding with the dark birds too. Great image! ===== Very very good, simple looking but very effective, I like it a lot! ===== Tell us how you made it! ===== Wow! NICE image. Can't figure out if the birds are actually modelled, or just flat cutouts. ===== The birds are excellent ===== Although there are lots of flying birds, it is not clear that the central theme is flight ===== As I've mentioned with others, if you have many of the same bird object, vary wing (if possible) on a few so that there is more variety. You did a good job on varying possition and orientation to make up for it! ===== SO many birds. COOL! ===== I really like this one. It reminds me of the end scenes of "The Crow II" when the crows were circling the tower! Awsome job. I would like to see it animated if possible! Could I get the code? ===== The birds are arranged very well -- natural and varied. ===== Very ominous. I like the mountain/island and the woods in the background. ===== Nice image, just wish you had explained it more. ===== Excellent composition - good "wow" factor on intial viewing. Very good control between foreground detail and depth of image. Nice water and mountain texture. Plant colors and construction; excellent. Wish more detail showed up in birds but the volume of the swirling flock more than makes up for the relative lack of detail. ===== How did you do the birds ? ===== First impressions are what they say counts. But who are "they?" ===== The behaviour of those birds suggests there's something dead on that island. Inspired by Hitchcock perhaps? A sureal visual piece! ===== I enjoy this picture and would of liked more detail as to how it was constructed. People don't have time to test all of the features offered with renderers now days, so it good to see an effect and how it was created. ===== Very nicely done...I love anything that looks life-like. ===== VÄLDIGT välgjorda fåglar! Tyvärr är resten inte riktigt lika snyggt. Berget är för glänsande, och växterna i förgrunden ser stela ut. Hade resten varit lika snyggt som fåglarna hade det här varit en given vinnare! ===== Beautiful lighting. Excellent composition. Nice signature. ===== Wonderful use of birds great concept... ===== The plants are too sterile, I would have rated Artistic Merit 20 otherwise. The Composition is perfect in my view. ===== Makes me want to cover my head [:) ===== I went to Alaska two years ago and I saw a sight like that only with bats! They called it the Beehive ===== The plants in particular are lovely. A beautiful scene. ===== Very Hitchkockian in nature (pun intended) - I liked the perspective in terms of how he framed the mountain behind the plant. ===== Water, trees, sky, and birds are very good. Mountain and plants look fake. Points off tech merit for no description. ===== Nice composition and colors... But the repeating gradient stripes on the central island are too regular, and give an artificial effect.
