Great topic, I wish I had time to enter (work is death),
I'll try for next time.
Good month for pics!!!!
Think i'll give it a go next month.
All the entries were very good, tough job sorting them out!
All great stuff
cool
I vote on #7 as first because I think it transmits the right mood. I feel really lonely looking at it.
The feeling that 'we are nothing near mother nature'!
Nice work. Steamer is proving popular.
Hmm, interesting...
The pictures are asll fantastic!
The realite of the Quebec scene when the nature
is in fury...
Some nice ones this time, i think i will enter next month.. :)
All good entries.
First place choice was chosen because it was the
most dynamic. Second place choice the most natural
looking, as well as dynamic, while the third choice was the most detailed. A tough choice between second and third place.
Very hard choices - finally went with images that worked the best overall - combination of drama, lighting, modeling and texturing.
COOL
It would be neat to be able to leave specific comments for each entry.

heya dave ;)
I think, number 1 looks very realistic...
Number 15 is a good idea..
Number 17 is a good modell, but has a bit to much plastic
look
...Very good work guys !
I'm not a professional animator nor am I an illustrator but
the pieces here are quite impressive in their detail. I espcially like the ones
that have more detail in them - the GG Bridge, the man and wife going
to the cellar and the twister and the empty roadway for the great hills.
The others may have had detail but most were not modeled in Lightwave.

I hate my last client for not letting me any time for the contest :(
Really great participants this month.
lw_tornado was the most technically impressive entry.
Soclose to me told the best story
And exspirit was not the most technically impressive, but differed from the others by being refreshingly allegorical.
It was quite a toss up between Ron Wolfe and David Ridlen for first place.
If i could have had them tie I would have.
First choice of Ron Wolfe : Good Textures,Good objects,excelent details,easy concept.
Second choice of Dennis Nikolaidis : Good Textures,Excelent Concept , fair objects , good space .
Third Choice Taron : Good objets,good concept ,good textures
More hard choices. Keeping in mind the theme (destructive nature) helped narrow the field. The three I chose displayed what I felt were the best over-all production values while sticking to the theme.
Although I didn't vote for the pic, I was very impressed with the modeling of the Golden Gate bridge. I think Steve has a marketable object there. (Tone down the orange a bit, though.)
Man, this category was tricky to choose from - A lot of excellent work here!
A lot of excellent images!
my ist and 2nh choices were
(ahem)
Great showing1
Thanks for running the contest....

Taron is awesome
I'm planning on entering next time, but I won't be anywhere near as good as these guys. Oh well, worth a try.
#15 for most imaginitive expression and LW purity
#13 for most engaging composition
#8 for most dramatic realism
Entry #15 is a beautiful image and I would love to give this a first place but i'm not sure it answers the contest topic exactly. I'm still giving it a ranking (3rd) though, just because I like the image.
1st-Just a bitchin' picture
2nd-Remind me to stay away from SF, at least in this person's dreams
3rd-'nuther cool pic
Tough choice this month!
There were only 2 or 3 images I liked!
Entry #13 was by far the most technically
difficult to produce! But 13 seemed lack
certain necessary dramatic elements.
Number 15 captured the SPIRIT of nature
but the terrain was ummm... well pretty
3D-ish if ya know what i mean.
Jim
the one with the view from the highway from the perspective
of a video camera really hit home... most of the entries were
excellent... still wondering how i ended up here!
This is the first time I could not honestly vote for my own image.
Ron Wolfe's image dominates this contest.
Maybe this months contest should be renamed to
Difficult to choose! But some entries really worth
voting them...
