===== From williamb@thirdroad.com: Good concept, hits home, very chilling in more ways than one. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Wow. This is probably my favourite picture this round. Really good use of blobs, particularly the bubbles which look real. The lighting and blur work really well, though maybe there's a little too much blur. In any case I really loke it :) ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Very excellent work! Thank you for also explaining how you pieced this one together as well. The image looks very realistic. Almost too realistic, it scares me looking up at it from the shot you_d put it in. The only real thing that strikes me as needing work is the hand and arm appears much too chubby. P.S. I have hardly seen people do bubbles as good as you have created them, very good work on that as well. ===== From rjhansen@myrealbox.com: At first glance, I wasn't impressed with this, but the longer I looked at it, the more I liked it. I think it really probably appears pretty authentic! A somewhat morbid take on the winter theme, but you get points for originality!! ===== From pokorny@attglobal.net: Very original! Though it hit me as a bit grim. ===== From tenmoons@aol.com: Wow. ===== From tom@tomandlu.co.uk: >> Now spend two frustrating weeks trying to make the scene better and not be able >> to do it Heh - the ray-tracer's lament. ===== From edward_dixon2001@yahoo.com: Great picture. Don't see any room for improvement at all. Love the media and the bubbles. ===== From lamere@speakeasy.org: Good concept and execution ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: I like the concept. Every winter you always hear about some one doing this. ===== From file: Very good underwater ice effect. I don't understand the hippopotamus shadow. Is it a hand reaching up? ===== From r@dsl092-065-152.bos1.dsl.speakeasy.net: Notable for lighting, originality ===== From file: scary stuff! Notable for originality
