awesome :-)

Fantastic scene, outstanding work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You did a great job on this amazing image, Richard.

It seems to me that Wblack forgets that an image is also made for dreaming ! I like this image, Richarphotos, even it recalls me electric chair :-) It is very well made, with reflects on the body. The girl is not a pin-up, but she is pretty. Her expression is intersting. Good use of blue and grey colors. Great work !

sorry about that one comment, looks great in my view.

Interesting ...

It seems to me that (wblack) should understand that this is just a render not something to be picked apart piece by piece. You are a great artist Richard and I like all your work whether it be this type of art, or photo's that you shoot. As for my feeling about this render I feel it's outstanding and looks great. Keep 'em coming and enjoy what your doing, that's what I try to do every day. You have a great day my friend. Stan

So strange when people try to think about a comment ??FREEZE is the best way to do And your work are good to us keep it your charms and impossible to have the perfection . If you try to have it you will be crazy .....((5++))

LIke wblack, this image provokes quite a few questions. The response isn't personal, but critical of the image itself. I always click "Both critical and non-critical" on mine simply because I don't take a personal affront to me, and in the critical comments I've received, I was able to see their perspective. If I thought it was incorrect, I explained mine. That said, at first I thought it was a double render as behind the short reflective wall/screen, there appears to be other "monitors." Maybe a series of these? Maybe a camera setting would allow a wider view and she wouldn't be hemmed in by the monitors, but, that may have been the point, hemmed in by technology. A short story or description may have added to the scene.

cool

I really do believe that some people have way too much time on their hands and not enough imagination. I don't get this whole rip-it apart attitude. I view images such as this as impressionistic, leaving the story to the imagination of the viewer. That having been said, the image is fine. I thought she was suicidal because her being bombarded by inane technology, thus the weapon and the expression.

Superb scene...

Although I don't agree with surgically slicing apart anyone's work. I have chosen to remove my first comment on this. I do see where you were going with this image Richard. I guess it takes more than a critical/technical eye to see past how a picture is composed in order to understand it's meaning.

I like the render and I like the "story", Fantastic image!

Obviously some people are having difficulty managing their emotions. My comment is addressed to Richard – not to those of you who have complained, your emotions about it are beside the point. Richard has elected to “welcome both critical and noncritical comments.” My comment expresses my honest observations and describes to Richard in plain language the questions I ask in viewing his image. To those of you who cannot draw distinction between what you imagine in your mind and what the factual identity and nature of other people is – I would say your emotions are not the creator’s of facts. The fact you do not care for a comment does not grant you license to make improper statements about the character of another person. I have offered Richard my honest evaluation – because he asked for it. My intent is honest. All of the emotional ulcerating over this is really unnecessary – and rather confuses the issue. If anyone wants to contact me and discuss this I am quite open to such a discussion via the site mail.

******* Richard, I note that you have uploaded a new version of the image, correcting the flaw I observed in the figures (figure Right) breast – in this re-edit the figure now looks far better, more natural, and I think you have adjusted the positioning and grip of the figure’s right hand on the gun – also an improvement. The questions I have regarding the story of your image remain. I have received a number of e-mails (and sent a few of my own in response) in regards to my comment on this image. Some people have expressed difficulty with the fact that my comment is “surgical” and without emotion. However, in order for a critique to be honest – it must be surgically precise, and in order for a critique to be honest, and in order for the technical points to be clear and clearly understandable, it must be without the distraction of emotion. When an artist selects the option to “welcome both critical and noncritical comments” I take the artist at their word. I do my best to deliver an exact report of what I see. This also includes what I find lacking, indicating what might make the image more compelling, and a batter work – my intent is that the artist takes from this honest critical report and uses the information to better their work. Richard has made some improvements in his image – and that final result is the only “intent” I have. ******* My original comment on Richard’s image: There is nothing in the image (or in your title or text) which tells me the story of this image. Who is this woman, why is she sitting in this rather stark room, with two (presumably) flat panel monitors situated far too close to her face to be of effective use? What is meant by “technology yes- old school” – in the “old school” did people sit in stark rooms with flat panel monitors too close to their faces staring vacantly? Is that what is meant by “old school” – badly positioned flat panel monitors and a vacant stare? What is the reason for her vacant expression, is she exhausted – if so why? Her posture might communicate exhaustion, the pistol almost falling out of her hand might indicate the same … that or a dreadful lack of experience in handling firearms. There might be a hundred other reasons for her dazed expression, and the character of her posture … rather than indicate the direction of your vision you have left me with this image of a woman with a dazed expression staring vacantly in a stark room. Your image arouses these questions, but it is not the “wonderment” of grand possibilities that is aroused – it is the wonder at lack of any indication of intent or purpose. Where are you, the artist, in this image – where is your story? What is your vision? I will complement you on the fact that this character’s feet appear to be firmly planted on the ground, however the line of her shoulders does not appear anatomically correct around her neck, and her (figure Right) breast appears to droop right but is lacking in shadow along the lower curve, it’s almost as if the flesh-tone has been painted in to fill a void where the outfit’s top balloon’s rather than conforms to her breast – I note the line un-naturally bisecting the lower-forward curve of her breast, which appears to be the actual curve of her breast, judging by the shading there. I can see you’ve gone to the trouble of creating this image – but where is your passion? Where is the individual, Richardphoto’s, the artist, in creation of this image? You may feel this harsh – but all these are valid observations, and these are the questions I ask in viewing your image.

Amazing concept and marvelous realisation!

SWEEEET

VERY NICE

Sexy scifi :)

Very nice composition!!!!

I like this image, it invokes a story unto itself

...Artist and critic are both entitled to an opinion and even the critic of the critic i guess. just keep it constructive peeps..

she must be watching too much tv and this is what I see in the image . I been there too and feel like this at that time of my life.

To bad about the scene but a great render anyway being simple. Cockpits should be simple.

It could be video game haven.

Shining work.

Very nice artwork

Great scene, gorgeous colors and light!

It looks pretty good to me!
