Very nice looking ! One of the few optimistic images this round.
I love the stones even if some grass blades seem to be growing on top of them
which is odd.
The dragonfly's wings seem to be glowing a little.

Only one word for that : "superb" !

From god@rajram.com:

That was an amazing image!  I thoroughly enjoyed staring at that image.  While
it isn't realistic (only semi-realistic, hence 12) the tag "3ds" sort of made
it lose points in technical merit.  Sadly, It isn't decayed enough to be
considered decay :(  Overall, a f***ing amazing image

This is a gorgeous image.  I think it is probably my favorite.  I hope you win!

Rocks, leaves & dragonfly look good. Light reflecting in water looks wrong
somehow.

Great attention to detail, an original interpretation of the 
topic. Great work Michael!

Very good work on this one.  I will be looking forward to future entries.

From Knight-Graphics@earthlink.net:
Wow, amazing detail and clarity. One of my favorites. Continue to push the
limits of your imagination (and your computer).

From p_chan@shaw.ca:
Excellent work!  Both the modelling and textures are 
done very well.  The one texture which seems to lack 
detail compared to the rest of the scene is the end of 
the broken stick, which appears to just be a solid 
colour.

From slone@hiwaay.net:
Wonderful image. The red in the leaf looks too saturated, but I see 
leaves close to this every Fall. The bright water reflection looks a 
little too digital, and the scale of the texture on the stones makes 
them look like large rocks, not pebbles, but those are just nitpicks 
on an overall great image. The sand is excellent, as are the pebble 
shapes.

I like the highlights, The leaves, but the stones look like they are imbedded in
cement. Great image anyway.
