Interesting and mysterious. The textures could really use some work though, esp.
on the pencils and the tabletop.

From helene.dumur@free.fr:
I think that some anti aliasing is needed on the pencil ? No ?

=====
From rgow@lanset.com:
A nice idea. Modeling is good. Textures, particulaly the wood, don't look
natural. Try lowering the ambience on all the textures, Bryce defaults have far
too much ambience.

Nice background, but the foreground needs some work. I love the castle within
the sphere, it looks like it_s growing out from a rock.

Needs stronger AA,
THe castle looks real nice.

I used Bryce a lot and I know it's great for making landscapes, but it's
difficult making other objects with it. However, it's a nice picture. PB

From ralf@treuherz.de:
Adding a bird next to the castle is a good idea, otherwise it would have looked
too much like a model.
The background should have been more detailed. I don't understand why the other
objects are "mysterious".

From info@michaelscholz.de:
Nice castle. The crystal ball's base could look better 
with more detailed modeling, thus giving it a really 
enchanted, magic item look.

From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com:

Good Image.  I especially like the castle.  However the image seems to really
need some anti-aliasing.

From p_chan@shaw.ca:
The background terrain and fog looks very good.  The 
objects on the lower right (pencil like things) look too 
jagged.

From glenn@mccarters.net:
Sorry, the castle looks too solid. :-)=20

Here's why:  a solid crystal ball would refract the light inside, =
causing a magnified view of objects in the interior.  Since this isn't =
happening, the crystal ball must be hollow.  But who ever heard of a =
hollow crystal ball?  So the viewer is left to think that maybe this is =
a small castle model with some kind of spherical force field surrounding =
it.  This is reinforced by the diffuse reflection of the sun in the =
sphere -- and the result is completely different from your intention.

I do like the image overall.  It's tastefully done and does have a =
delicate sense of mystery.
