Cool concept, very catchy scene.  Serene yet tense at the same time.

Very blue!  I do like this image, though the surfer's board is a bit hard
to discern.

From cgallego@nordnet.fr:

Nice one...
I liked the artistic part of it...
I think you should not have put the surfer...

I especially like the way the water appears to be flowing into the hole.

   Very clever results using some basic techniques. It's going up as
wallpaper soon.

Good - does the image really need the person though?

What can I say, this is simply very Artistic and Concept is outstanding.  As
for Technical Merit.  Hey this is awesome!

I love the colors and textures here!

From lpurple@netcom.com:
This looks really cool; you might try experimenting with blobs on the glass
surfer guy; but the rest of the scene is perfect as-is. Very original.

From dick@buckosoft.com:
Nice concept.  I would have liked to have seen better definition of the 
surfboard. (Black pencil outline if it were a print) It gets kinda lost.
When i first looked, i thought he was just standing there.

From web_user@cust90.max4.detroit.mi.ms.uu.net:
This is one of my favorites this round, but does not seem to fit the topic.  It is incredibly beautiful.  I would like to see this rendered with a more "fluid" figure, less robotic looking.  I think that's why the figure appears as metallic, rather than glass.  Beautiful job though.  I look forward to seeing more of your work!
