===== Nice atmosphere, although the bird form comes not out very well. BTW, are the trees rendered or pictures? ===== I think there's too much contrast between the sky and the horizon, which also draws the attention away from your theme(the leaves). -hl ===== Gorgeous view! ===== Nice image, though I don't see the very vague bird like formation. ===== No need for the amount of vertices since one can only see 4 of the leaves in detail. ===== Would be better if such I high priced package wasnt used ===== Nice idea. Too bad only one leaf can be seen in any real detail. ===== brilliant colors and beautiful landscape. Background image integrated well. ===== Short on concept but what a view. Beautiful landscape ===== The bird shape seams a bit two dimensional. ===== Nice, but it seems a bit dark, the contrast between leaves and background is not really great enough to show the bird shape immediately... nice work though :) ===== Excellent interpretation of theme! Excellent idea. ===== Beautiful final product, but by simply looking at the image, the underlying theme, i.e., flight, is not obvious. ===== Very impressive output, but how much technical merit can you get for using Vistapro?! ===== Cool idea, perfect realisation. ===== When using a background image, check the perspective in respect to the ground level... ===== The only criticism is that the image of the bird wasn't very obvious--in fact, I had to really look for it. But it's a beautiful picture, original idea, and is definitely one of the better entries this round. Good job. ===== Good concept and composition. Low technical merit due to heavy reliance on tools to generate lanscape, etc. ===== A pretty picture, but I find it rather uninspiring. ===== Just wondering where the leaves are coming from... ===== Nice image. The background is so bright, though, that it distracts from the main subject. The loose leaves are a nice touch. ===== Too dark to see anything. ===== Was the landscape also part of the background, or was it rendered?? ===== Nice background lighting. I think this is a great idea and interpretation, but more could have been made of it. The leaves in the background look too much like little dots ===== Seemingly simple, but the more you look at it the more intricate you realize it is. ===== The bird shape is not immediately obvious. Just looks like a leaf migration. Why is the foliage on the trees below all green? (i.e. where did the brown leaves come from) A very realistic image nevertheless. ===== A fine job on using light to capture a mood. ===== You are truly the Master of your domain! ===== I think the theme was "flight", not "landscapes" ===== Very beautiful, moody image. ===== A great interpretation of the theme! ===== Really like the leaves and backdrop. Looks really cool! ===== A bit to dark, ===== Concept and Final Image are nice, but marked down a bit because using profesional software and that the top half of the picture is a bitmap. ===== background to dark good concept ===== Where are the leaves coming from? ===== Quite breathtaking at first glance. I don't see a bird, though, it sort of appears like an elephant to me... j/k . Perhaps if they were a bit closer to the camera like the few in the foreground. ===== Good interpretation of the theme, with Magritte's style resemblance. Nevertheless I think there is a little excessive use of expensive softw. (this is only my personal opinion.) ===== Shape of the bird is a bit vague but the sunset is nicely done ===== The sky in this scene is wonderful. And I think having a couple of leaves fluttering past is such a nice touch. ===== Forest Gump award??? (not meant sarcastically but in reference to opening and closing titles of said movie) ===== Excellent background, nice concept. But I am biased against 3DS. Also, the bird shape was not distinct enough.
