This image looks very real. Great job.

===== From agage@csee.usf.edu:
Very nice!

===== From edi@home.com:
great textures

===== From xeo@home.com:
a very very good picture. The one plant in the forground looks a little flat though. You can do some cool looking plants in bryce, check out the how the ones in the object library are made.

===== From manorton@tcnet.net:
THis is one of the best Bryce images I have sene. Good job. Nice texture, nice composition, nice everything.

===== From jerry@hoboes.com:
Beautiful clouds in the foreground. I think perhaps a little more water in the scene--with that much water coming down on land this parched, perhaps we should see some runoff? Plants are a bit stiff compared to the realism of the cracked earth and the rock towers. Evocative choice of scenery, however.

===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com:
The cracked ground looks great and there's a nice contrast of colors.

===== From gregj56590@aol.com:
Nice theme: water in the desert! Nice mudcracks, nice rain in the distance. Grass works well for a 2D image.

===== From vogelap@email.uc.edu:
I like the depth and variety in this pic.

===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
A very nice one! The proportions of the foreground and the canyon(?) and the terrain in the background are not totally clear.

Guess everyone's gotta go through a 'make everything transparent' phase.

===== From jaime@ctav.es:
Really Dry!

===== From Varyk@aol.com:
I may be totally wrong, but I believe that rock towers like these origion= ate from ancient lava shafts and don't have diagonal strata like upheaval= rifts and mountain ranges do. I think that the far cliff behind the rai= n wouldn't be getting much sunlight, so the shadows in the texture wouldn= 't be so pronounced. Great desert floor and cracked earth.

===== From djohnston@iname.com:
I think you did a nice job at giving the cloud and rain an atual presence, distiguishing it from the rest of the scene. It offers a nice contrast to the dryland in the foreground of the image,

===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Exquisite. This is a very fine snapshot, oops I mean rendering .

===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Nice picture, like something from'Arizona Highways' magazine. It stands out as artistic and realistic.
