Some of the judges' comments:

Quote:

1.) Number 9. This picture says so much by saying so little. This is what a sailor loves. Not just a warship, but also the sea. The way the U-boat and the sea are complementing each other is wonderful. You know the purpose of the vessel: war, but you are also given the felling of beauty as she rides the waves. This is a great picture.

2.) Number 3. The creativity in this work is amazing. The picture works. The contrast of the parchment look and the color of the U-boat is a natural draw for the eye.

3.) Number 13. Wonderful contrast and somewhat haunting. There is subtle action that asks what is happening? Is the U-boat attacking or being attacked? The use of the subtle colors is perfect. This is one I would gladly hang on my wall.

4.) Number 5. Wow! The use of light is terrific. This is a picture that makes you almost feel the "wasserbomb" detonating. This picture also leaves the story open and the viewer can finish it anyway they want. Did the U-boat survive, or was this the hot that sent the boat and her crew to the bottom? Very well proportioned and well thought out.

#20: The design, especially the color, seems surreal and cold. The overall effect - the bubbling makes it seem real and alive, calling attention to the victory and death, which I see as the themes.

#4: The design is bright and clear. You could call it captivating since I spent two minutes trying to make out the shape of the sinking ship. I was drawn in by the submarine so much that I needed to know its story by understanding the full picture. I see the theme here of efficient victory. Submarine moves in, kills, and moves out. Business as usual.

#18. The design is peaceful. I guess you could say the theme is peace, calmness, or serenity. The detail is excellent. I thought it was a photograph at first.

#7 - Nice theme, balance, and of course, original artwork. I can tell this was made professionally.

# 10 - A true render, the only one in the batch, Neal, very well done and very detailed.

Entry #11 - Inventive juxtaposition of stylized gauges against a killer screenshot

Stay tuned for the full results and the winnahs, soon.

It's notable that nobody is trying to outguess the result, which is a good thing because I think I can identify some of the likely entrants........AND EACH AND EVERYONE IS SUPERB

Django55 · 03-19-08, 12:03 PM

WOW, there are some very talented folks here. Very creative!

Wolfehunter · 03-19-08, 10:39 PM

I tried but I couldn't get the image I was looking for.... Maybe next time... But I have to say great job on the other dudes.

WOW is the only thing that comes to mind.

Iceman · 03-20-08, 11:06 PM

Is it possible to see all the entrys?...If you dont have the room I would be happy to upload them to my webspace so we could see them all....just email them all to me if you want.Sorry couldn't get you more from me but I get sidetracked easily.

I am dying to see the entrys....as a limited artist myself. I do not know if you realize or not ,but it looks like the same exact sub model used in most of the pics...the entrys dont look all that different from each other....what a critic I know but just an observation.

7,11 and 19 are my pics...not my "Pictures" by my favorites...good work.

Interestingly, #17 can also be found right here. Not that I'd accuse anyone of anything, but I knew I'd seen that picture before.
