Superb. Puts me in mind of the work of Chris Foss.

Very cool Kirk; I love the Dutch camera angle :)

Excellent image, I like the angle and the fog/atmosphere effect works really
well.

Very nice! Would you be willing to contribute your image/scene code as a 
background image for the space sim VegaStrike?

Wow! That's one heck of a tower! I realy like that image.

Let see... each vertical section is aparently 18 floors high, and we can 
see 10 of those before we lose it in the clouds. The gaps are aparently 
about the high of 2 floors. Add the base, about 5 floors to the sea 
level... so, it gives about 205 floors... under the clouds. Plus the 
underwater part. Any submarine bays? How many peoples are suposed to 
live in it?

That's One Heck of a TOWER!!!!

Thanks!

Yeah, ever since I discovered your website the other day and your 
"Bathing Spheres" scene in particular, I've been trying a little slant 
to the camera to make things interesting.  You've got some great stuff, 
by the way--I don't know how you make abstracts look so real.  How do 
you do your textures?

IMO the only reason that works is you have the incoming flying car slanted 
the other way, so it gives the impression you're seeing it from the pov of 
the car. Without the car, it would just be "hey, straighten up that 
picture."  Nice job.

I think the additional shuttles in the foreground don't work - not 
unless you also add some in the background, too. Otherwise, them not 
suffering much fog makes them somwehat isolated.

Nice.
I would like to add that the background towers, while neat, appear to be 
completely different styles than the foreground, creating a 
discontinuity (at least for me).
clipka's observation about the clustering of shuttles in the foreground 
makes sense to me, maybe some dark outlines poking out of the fog in the 
back would help.

A different multicorp with a totally different company image, maybe?

I find nothing wrong about it. It has its own aesthetics at any rate.

Quite true.  In fact, I'd like to have some really massive 'somethings' 
hanging around back there in the fog; I'm just not sure what, yet.

That was my excuse for using it, anyway.  It was ready made from a macro 
I had written some time ago.  Ideally, I think I'd like it to match a 
little better.

Beautiful. The irregularities on the water's surface due to gusting are
particularly effective (assuming that was the goal!). Don't add too much though,
be a shame to spoil a nice quiet ocean!

I think Darren was quite right! Without those initial shuttles rotated 
counterclockwise, the tilt of the image loses its punch.

Er... what is so Dutch about banking a camera? Enlighten me... I'm sure 
it has got nothing to do the old masters of the Flemish renaissance 
school...
