needs a slpash of color...

From jerry@hoboes.com:
Very interesting image, but I think something needs to be done with the water
to make it look like water; as it is, without your description, there really
isn't any way to say they're worshipping steam or smoking tobacco... except
for the lack of a black market if you're in California :*)

Simple, effective, unique, and very cool!  The floor lost some quality in conversion.
It's good that you didn't try to make realistic creatures, the abstract ones 
work best in this scene.

Why?

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
Nice composition and lighting. Sometimes it's best to keep things simple, I
also like the idea of a black&white raytrace image.

From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu:
Too simplistic for my tastes, and nothing looks like water here.

From jaime@ctav.es:
Nice lighting. The water wapor is also wel done. I don't see perhaps the need
for a wide image format.

I like the high concept behind this scene.  I really didn't notice the no=
ses till I read about them.  I think a touch of color would have been str=
iking, like maybe just a hint at the vapor cloud's center, like the one r=
ed dress in Schindler's List.  (Maybe I'm just being colorist.)

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
I really like the bold use of NO color, it really makes a statement.  It gives an air of authority to an otherwise surreal image.
It's a shame that the image format is so horizontal, it looks like only half an image.  As if the image was stopped in mid-render.  Also a few too many JPEG-compression artifacts for me.
