===== From denny1@home.com: The texture on the column in the forground is quite nice, it has the feel of being inhabited by various algae. The texture of the ocean floor could use a bit of tweaking, it looks almost like a sandy desert dark tinted. ===== From mztyree@sedona.net: Most excellent atmosphere, the sense of being underwater is great! The colors are just perfect, except maybe the overly bright weeds. I like the texture of the water. The pier on the left foreground detracts from the overall image by being too detailed and sharp. But great image nonetheless! ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Nice atmosphere, I don't really know what to think of it though. Half random marks there, iamginary if you wish. I like the sig/(c). ===== From shipbrk@gate.net: Very nice modelling work. I like the "grungy" look of the seawater especially, though the light seems to be coming from behind the altar rather than from within it. Really excellent work for your "first real POV-Ray scene"! ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: A good first image. Well done. ===== From gshaw@monotix.co.za: A shorter distance to the fog would have improved the feel of being under water. Floor seems to have sharp edges. Alter is nice. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Nice scene artistically - the backlighting works and I like the grainy texture. Little details are good, the clownfish, crab, boat underside. The rippling light on the sand is good, the slightly tilted camera, it all adds up. The biggest criticism I have is the dominance of the dark pillar at left in the composition. For a first scene, wow... I hope my entry does as well as I think this one will. ===== From jull43@ij.net: Quite comples and interesting to the eye. ===== From r@209.155.62.50: Some details lost; less compression might help.
