Does everything in this scene look about proportional, nothing is to big,
nothing to small? To give credit where it is due, the person is Thomas
Baier's Lucy model from his IRTC entry.

thanks

nice scene ...
Me thinks: unless this railing is supposed to be for liddle children,
it should be a bit higher, at least at the height of her hands (if not
even higher), so she can grab it. Or are these some obstacles, which she
is supposed to stumble about ?

oh, and yes, if it should only be a small palmtree, then the size is ok...

looks promising ...

Looks fine. Making the tree bigger wouldn't *hurt*, but it's fine as it is
now.

Just wait a few years, it'll be bigger by then.  What we have here, is
a POV artist that plans ahead.   :)

The railing is too low. I would even consider using two or three
horizontal rails, instead of the single rail you have here. I think
the top rail probably should be set a bit higher than the waist-level
of the average adult. I would divide the remaining lower space equally
with whatever number of additional rails I decided to add. 

I think that the long rail, toward the left-rear of the scene, is
probably too long to be unsupported. I would consider adding more
supporting posts to this rail, probably two of them. If you think that
two more square posts might clutter up the view of the deck too much,
you might want to consider using vertical sections of pipe instead.
Secure them to the flooring with pipe flanges. This would be slimmer,
and offer a less obstructed view of the deck.

The horizontal support, under the decking, that spans from one corner
column to another, might need to be "taller" (or "thicker" depending
on how you want to refer to its top-to-bottom dimension), in order to
be sturdier. It doesn't seem like a good match for the perceived
strength of your corner uprights, and the perceived weight of your
deck, including a full load of people standing on it.

The size of your floor planks seems just *maybe* a little wide, but
it's hard to tell.

I would consider adding a safety railing around the hole in the center
of the deck. I probably wouldn't use square posts to support this
railing. I would probably construct the whole assembly from high
quality POV-Ray pipe, and fasten it to the deck with pipe flanges.

The nice thing about using POV-Ray pipe, is that it doesn't rust,
unless you tell it to.  :)

    The guard rail is perfect tripping height and the corner posts are
thinker than you can really get square posts anymore, but otherwise it
doesn't seem disproportional.

The womans body seems a bit out of scale. Too long arms, too short legs.

The rail, well I suppose it's alright.. Any scale would be appropiate.

I disagree with everyone else that the railing is too low. It's
obviously not meant as a conventional railing, but I've seen railing
like that in this image.

( See my Dripstone Cave image which is inspired by a real dripstone cave
I visited once, which had such low railings.
http://rsj.mobilixnet.dk/3d/gallery/cave.jpg Hehe, that's an old
image... )

So, I think the proportions are fine.

The Scene looks very good Kevin,

However, I would think you owuld want the tree to be a little taller..
Usually with palm treses they are a couple feet above a person, unless she
is really tall.. :)

Overall I like the scene alot, and I can't wait to see the final..

I cut the hole in the middle bigger for that very reason =)
