SOrry if i've misunderstood, but...if this image was made totally in Photoshop, it's inelegible for this contest. Photoshop is not a raytracer. All images in this contest must be raytraced. SOrry...it's really a nice picture. It just doesn't belong here.

Were this actually rendered I would have given it a much better score.

From rgow@lanset.com:
This is a 3D contest. You seem to have layered some 2D images in photoshop. Please read the rules next time.

This is not a raytraced image. Itīs composed in Photoshop. This doesnīt belong in this competition. Read the rules. Nice image though.

From pbrasolin@yahoo.it:
This is a good image, but as far as I know Photoshop isn't a raytracer and this is a raytracing competition. PB

Not a raytraced image !

From info@michaelscholz.de:
Nothing 3D here, right? Which makes it off topic, or 
not?

From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com:
Was there any 3D render utility used in this image at all?  I suggest you either read the rules for the IRTC, or give a proper text write-up.

From p_chan@shaw.ca:
This image is not a valid submission as Photoshop is not 
a 3D rendering or raytracing program.

From emediez@emediez.com:

I am sorry for the image, because it is a good image (a good 2D image!) It is not raytraced, I mean, it is not the output of a 3D view of a virtual world. :-(

From glenn@mccarters.net:
Interesting image, but you did not follow the rules of the competition.

If this was a model it would be awesome, but I loose a lot of respect for it since it's a picture.  To bad because it looked cool.  I like to know a little more effort went into images then just point click load and paint. 
Notable for composition

Another Photoshop picture. Nice, but not what we are looking for in this competition.
