Wow, great detail! Fabouslous textures. But wheres the rest of the scene?

From rgow@lanset.com:
Very nice modeling. Would be nice to see in action.

From matthew-bradwell@melton-mowbray.freeserve.co.uk:
Excellent textures.
The composition has the feel of an historical advertisment.
This crane would look good in an industrial context.

Wow!  Nice gears!  You know what is great about this round, a lot of people are explaining the technology in their pictures very thouroughly.  Thank you all for that.

I normally prefer objects to be placed in a scene of some sort, but I
like this picture.  It has a clean, technical illustration feel to it.

From irtc_mail@yahoo.co.uk:

The crane model and rendering look good but the way it has been
set against the grey background spoils the overall image.

Wonderful model that would have looked awesome in a more natural evironment
(like an old warehouse). A little more variety in the textures, with different 
scales, would make the parts appear more real. Great lighting.
