nice atmosphere, nice wall
has a "Myst" touch

From jknepley@nyx.net:
Is this an accurate representation of the working of Big Ben?  Good mood.

From djconnel@flash.net:
Artistic -- I like the rendering of the wall.  The general interior is
nicely done.  I also like the clock lettering.  The dust is an interesting
touch.

Technical:
I like the wall and beams, but...
Why is there no dust in fronto of the lamps?
Why is the moonlight so bright through the frosted window?
There is a light inside Big Ben to make it glow, I believe... where is it?
Big Ben has clock faces on 4 walls.

Concept, interpretation of theme:
None of the engineering elements of the clock are really shown.

From castlewrks@aol.com:
This is a wonderful image...it suffers from being too dark to enjoy the
detailsof the modelled area... it would have been better withn more clock
gadgetry.

=====
From sonya_roberts@geocities.com:
Nicely done!  The effect of the monnlight streaming in is great.  And hey,
nothing wrong with 8:00 being dark and moonlit - it certainly is so in winter! 
After your mention of the janitor's grave-yard shift lunches though, I was
dissapointed not to see any signs of his occasional presence, like a rough
table or bench, a half-eaten sandwich sitting on the railing, or a bit of waxed
paper on the floor, etc.

From kaustin@tgn.net:
Nice use of the translucence of the clock face. The face itself is far too
small for the clock tower, unfortunatly. Also, there seems to be a definite
lack of gears and associated equipment within the tower, which faces to all
four sides, as I recall. With some more detail and resizing, this image could
be quite interesting.

From daves@wkpowerlink.com:
Great modelling, lighting, and use of atmosphere. The bricks worked out very 
well, and you came up with a great idea. A very solid entry.
=====
From chipr@niestu.com:
Very nice effect with the light beams.  The brick is also quite good.

=====
From bill@apocalypse.org:
Pretty image, though I think I would have liked to see more inner workings
and less medieval stone walls/lanterns and such (they look good, but draw
attention away from the clock).

=====
From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Good color and textures.
It's either awfully dusty, or awfully bright moonlight.
Some of the circular elements seem to be made of straight segments.
Hey, why are all the letters backwards?!

=====
From arcana@sinbad.net:
Nice scene. :{) Would have preferred a bit more detail, but well done. One big
strike against you though... You've got the roman numerals set wrong on the
clock 
face. They should be backwards when viewed from behind the clock face, as in
this
scene. <grin>

=====
From bobfranke@halcyon.com:
Nice job on the lighting and atmospheric effects, although the light rays seem a
little bright for moon light.  The brick work is also very good.  The only real
technical flaw is the light leaking through on the upper left side of the clock
face.

Now, about accuracy:
I have seen Big Ben and thought this didn't look right so I checked.  Big Ben
does not have Roman numerals and yours are backwards.  For a view of Big Ben
see URL http://www.a-london-guide.co.uk/beta/attractions/bigben.html

As a side note:  It is very rare for clocks to have IV for the number 4, IIII is
almost always used.


=====
From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Good idea and realisation. Inner lighting could be improved a bit.

=====
From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
An unusual idea well done!

=====
From jaime@ctav.es:
Nice ambient...

=====
From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
One is give to wonder how the clockwork works. Belt-driven hands certainly
would
not be precise enough. What's more, the hands seem to be on the inner side of
the wall and thus could not be seen from the outside.

=====
From c_et_d@club-internet.fr:
l really like this image ;1st time i saw it i thought to Big Ben ( l =
never saw it in real ! ) but that's really the london atmosphere.=20

=====
From lpurple@netcom.com:
Scene needs a bit of gamma correction but the dark, dusty atmosphere looks
great.


=====
From r@slip-32-100-72-29.ny.us.ibm.net>:
Not to scale.. hands too fat and stubby ... dial too small compared to
numerals... nice atmospherics
Notable for lighting


=====
From r@dial-up27.webbernet.net>:
For some reason, the concept of a clock you can walk around in impresses me. 
This image conveys that idea well.  I like the lamps, the clock face, the brick
walls and the dramatic light shining in.  Perhaps more visible clockwork and
better texturing on the wood of the catwalk?
