Thanks for the first feedbacks.
The terrain is a heightfield, and most of the life forms were done with
POV-Ray. The magazine decided to place the illustration on the cover
page of their upcoming edition. :-)

Well done!
The images are very interesting, and the article too.

Well done!
I especially like the "Stromatolithes" image, with the ocean surf (and bubbles)
breaking over the coral reef in the background. A nice effect.
Just a note: A few of your image posts didn't come through (at least in the
newsgroups' web interface). The image names look like 'links' or library paths
instead, or maybe HTML snippets.
