Hmm... I can see to many artifacts here that were "invisible" in the animation. The
animation is great, but for a still, I'd see if you could hide the container objects
better.
The dust storm is otherwise great. If you detail the ship and make it larger, and
change the orientation of theimage to be portrait instead of landscape, it would be
a great follow up to Scott McDonalds piece he did for the IRTC way back with a dead
astronaut and an old fashioned space ship on the surface of mars. He turned it into
a magazine cover, and I say you've set up the sequel here!
The post in p.b.i is "That Astronaut Thing Again" dated 2/7/99, and maybe this link
will work (i'm feeling experimental)
