Hmm, seems off-topic IMHO. I tend to think that the text should add to the
theme, rather than explain it.
Great pic, though.

Well, I fail to see a distinct "Worship" theme in there, but this is a matter of
interpretation I guess.
Technically, there is very little to complain about. A few things that come to
mind:
1) While the overall colouring of the sky fits well, the clouds seem a bit fake
somehow - perhaps they need more detail.
2) The mountains in the background look too much like plain "gaussian bells", I
think some jaggedness a la the foreground rocks would make them more convincing.
3) As others have said, the shape of the Guardian is difficult to make out,
either it or the bridge should be a somewhat different colour. Also, to one who
has played way too much Starcraft, it looks distinctly Protoss :)
Oh by the way, that chasm doesn't look so wide; I'd just forget about the
Guardian and pole vault to Paradise... Unless both bridge and Guardian are
supposed to be huge; but they don't look that way.

Yes I do. Kinda a mix between a Zealot and a Dragoon, huh? :)

Not necessarily a bad thing. As someone mentioned, it looks like it is camouflaged.

I'll stick some defense cannons on the other side. To discourage pole vaulters. :)

Looks very pleasant as usual.
Some thoughts:
- as others mentioned probably a bit off-topic for this IRTC round.
- i like the sky, but it somehow contradicts the effect radiosity lighting
would have (i suppose you do not use radiosity here). The shadows would
have to be more blue-red.
- The border between the julia fractal and the ground is very visible
because of the triangle structure. Using an isosurface for the ground
would of course avoid this, but the rendering time...

Hmm, not I.
I don't think the visual confusion adds anything to the image. On the
contrary...

It *is* an Isosurface!!! I set the accuracy at .05 instead of .01. Oops.

Or like it's been there for a *very* long time, so that it is
practically part of the bridge.
