A lot of work must have gone in to getting the reflection of the buildings..
hence the technical merit score.

From agage@mines.edu:
I'll give you points for writing your own raytracer :)

The image is a bit simple, but that's understandable with a prototypical
renderer.  I'd suggest antialiasing, if it can be done.

When most people think of "Night," they might think of adventure, sensuality,
style, romance, mystery, being around new people, elegance, machismo, etc.
What did you depict? an ashtray!

I like the title, it sounds sort of manic.

From jjanger@mail.cspp.edu:
   The image was not all that great but I scored you huge in the Technical 
category for writing your own raytracer. :)

=====
From dormammu@erols.com:
Not directly night related, but a good picture, especially considering you 
wrote the ray tracer yourself.

Congratulations on writing the Ray Tracing program.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
You wrote the raytracer?  I'm impressed.

Nice cigarette! (the site of it makes me ill, so it must be 
realistic :)).    The table texture needs some work,
but congrats on using your own renderer -- nicely done!
concept score is a bit lower than it might be -- this
could as easily be done at high noon.

Are you related to Craig, by any chance?

Geez, when we say "all coded by hand" very few of us mean we wrote the
raytracer it rendered on as well. Really, Michael, there's such a thing
as extreme fanatacism! <bg>

From r@dial-up30.webbernet.net:
The image, artistically, is a bit simplistic, the subject is very marginal for
topic, and since the image was apparently not created for this round, there may
be a rules violation.  Nonetheless, implementing your own ray tracer deserves
some technical credit.  Still ... isn't recompiling for each image a bit labor
intensive?  This comment by clem@dhol.com.
