Nice idea, high marks for concept.  Reminds me of a US 
TV commercial for a well known soft drink.  The dolphin 
is very good. For me, the ice hills look a bit rough.  A 16 
bit height field will provide much smoother results.

the santa should have been bigger or something to make it stand out more

Love the Santa sleigh bit.

Charming!  Had you included the Aurora Borealis and used a higher resolution
heightfield map, this image would have been outstanding

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Lots of good detail.  Fine work on the dolphin and bear (although the dolphin's
snout seems just a bit too long).  Nice moon and sleigh silhouette.  Good job
resisting the temptation to make the moon too large.  Good and effective
technique on the ripples.
Smoke needs work.  The height field mountains don't do much for me, particularly
in their abrupt transition to the flat ground.
The level of "cartoonishness" is nicely consistent throughout the scene.

I keep thinking of the Coca-Cola commercials...

From djconnel@flash.net:
Interesting image!  Santa is a wonderful touch!

One suggestion : a bit more texture work would help. 
The ice
texture in particular, as it is such a major component of
the image, needs optimization.

Nice job modeling the dolphin with sPatch.  I think the bear could use some
more work to round him out.  I'm gald you include the water ripples.  Moset
people forget and leave them out.  The water could use a little more
tweaking.  Perhaps a little transparent.

Nice picture, but the texture of the icebergs does not do it justice.
They look very plastic-like...

Very cute. Good Xmas card picture.

I think you got your little cartoonish in.  Love the Santa and the firelight off
the igloo radiates warmth.

Wonderful cartoon-like modelling of the animals.
The pond texture looks strange, and the lighting could be improved.
