The objects look a little plastic.  This is one of the few images that made me
think "water" when I looked at it.

From agage@csee.usf.edu:
Superb.  Though I think I have seen those flowers before...

=====
From edi@home.com:
nice image

=====
From xeo@home.com:
Green leaves need a little more texture work, but very good otherwise!

=====
From witoslaw@kki.net.pl:
Simply great!!! Very realistic. The fish look just the way they should look in a
shallow water. Well done

=====
From jerry@hoboes.com:
Beautiful closeup. Very nice use of focal blur. Great fish and lighting.

From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com:
Wow, this is cool.  The flowers look great, although I think the leaves look a
bit
plastic.  The goldfish are very impressive!  There is a good subtle use of focal
blur,
which adds depth to the image.  One of my top 3 favorites!

Very cool kind of photorealism: obviously computer generated, but realistic as
well.
Nice texture for water

Very Nice

From vogelap@email.uc.edu:
I like the focal blur.

From schimmler@ica.uni-stuttgart.de:
I really like the usage of focal blur. Also the fish!

=====
From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
Really good and realistic looking water. The green petals on the flowers have
funny shapes and look a bit odd without veins.
The fish and the stones in the water are excellent. Also, very good use of
focal blur.

Great Photorealism

Very good! One of the top images this round.

From Varyk@aol.com:
nice use of focal blur.  Very real looking!

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Outstanding.  The rare above-water / below-water approach works really well
here.  Fine detailing, especially on the goldfish.  Copyright notice is not in
the best location, but is tastefully done.  Plant leaves look a little plastic,
they need... ribs? veins? more color variation?  I really like the focal blur,
which keeps the viewer's attention on the fish, where it should be.  The
interplay of light and shadow, image and reflection, color and greyscale, are
all excellent.  Beautiful!

From jesse@kesmai.com:
Quite nice!  I've been meaning to try out the SuperPatch for some time, but 
haven't ever gotten around to it.  The one suggestion that I can make is to 
add something to the plant textures to make them a bit more interesting.
Perhaps a radial or something...  The focal blur is a very good touch as well.

From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
A very attractive image. The hard lighting may be as the scene would be in
bright sun but softer lighting might be more artistic.

Great image! The plants' leaves could use a bit more texturing, but it's superb
besides that!
Notable for composition, modelling, originality, textures, lighting
