Ah! The Riverworld!!! First time I think somebody did a scene inspired by 
Farmer's novels. Good start, Stephen.
Textures. I would make them more subdued I think, and more in balance with 
each other. Now they distract the viewer from the stream of bodies. Maybe 
the groundfloor should be long parallel strips in grey accentuating the 
movement.
