In my text file I forgot to mention that it's my first IRTC entry. Is 
that likely to effect the outcome or is it just a dirty rumor?

I'm not a judge (I think I've finally found the time to enter
next round -- but time will tell), but as a viewer, I usually
have text descriptions along with the image, and Alt+Tab between
the two.

When I find an image is a bit lacking, I am usually relieved
when the author explains that he is still a beginner. That
changes my point of view, that's all, and I think the same
goes for the judges.

The worst to do would be to claim one's superiority, and submit
a lacking image. Boom.

It's not the worst I've seen by a long shot, even in this round. I don't
think it is quite as good as some of the earlier WIPs you posted in p.b.i.
though.

it was a struggle with the lighting at the last minute I just couldn't 
get it right. :P and then I just ran out of time. I wish I could have 
worked on it longer.. oh well...

lighting right, and then I just plum ran out of time...

I did not know which entry was yours when I wrote this.

The comment was very generic and mostly to say that the more you
say about your work in your text file, the more fairly you will
be judged. That's not a rule, that's how human work.

The final comment was about an hypothetic person doing
a bad-looking image, but unable to notice it and bragging about
the quality of his work. Boom again...

Now, your image, let me see. Argh, I'm sad. Your background
is so vivid that it is very hard to see the details of your
buildings. I had almost not noticed them at first! I had to
gamma correct it to see it well. Too bad, your modelling
work is impressive, but I feel it is ruined by the background.
The tower is a bit strange too: the single room at the top
seems out of proportion.

Just a personnal feeling. And I'm no judge. :-)

Speaking for myself, I try not to allow that to affect the marks I give, but
I always give much nicer comments if someone says they're a beginner :) I
really appreciated the comments people gave on my first entry, and you'll
generally find if someone says it's their first image then everyone wants to
help.

Having said that, when I saw your image I had no idea you were a beginner.
There's a lot of detail, and the only realy criticism I had was that the
builldings were a bit dark, but then that might just mean your monitor
brightness is different to mine. It certainly looks like you know what
you're doing.

Well I have been poving for a few years but I've never done a full on 
scene before.. just random objects and things, and this is also the 
first time I've entered in IRTC. I wish I could have fixed the darkness 
of the buildings before I ran out of time though. :( oh well.. I'll not 
bother you with my insecurities anymore. (unless you want me to ;))

It tends to garner longer comments from me, at least. Of course, I'm
insane enough to try to comment on everything, anyhow. :)
