good concept, guy looks like marble statue

From chris@bluelectrode.com:
The effect of being ruined?  Interesting...but a close-up of a face is just too easy.  I would have expected more from a package like Max.

From marlo.steed@uleth.ca:
conceptually.... I din't get it at first but nice idea.... I think you needed to make the facial expression more ruinness.

From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
Missing hair ! That makes it very strange looking.
Interesting concept though.

From jouni@mikrobitti.fi:
These alternative interpretations of the ruins topic are pretty
dangerous. It's hard to reflect the real ruin on a man's face.
But giving too much criticism would be unfair, since the image 
is, as you said, unfinished and a work in progress. Suffice to
say that there's a lot to do before a face looks real - and most
importantly, not raytraced.

From StephenF@whoever.com:
The eyeballs and the teardrop are very good, and I gave 
the picture a fairly high ranking in the technical 
category.

From clem@dhol.org:
Great idea.  I wish you had been able to finish it.  While I 
like the basic skin texture, a close up face has to have 
detailed modelling.  I note a few irritating elements.  
Specifically, the black tear, the linear gray shadows and 
the little cutout looking area in the lower left.  The lighting 
may also be a bit too saturated.  Despite the criticisms, I 
like this image and I hope you take the time to perfect it.

From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au:
This is one of the best ideas for this round, but it seems time was your
enemy in getting the image completed. What I really would have liked to see
is a reflection of the building burning in the man's eyes, with some details
visible.

This needs a lot of work, at first I thought it was meant to be a man behind 
bars.
