===== I would like to see you enter next month's competition. A few pointers: If, when you render the image you think "This could really use a ___," then put a ___. Also, don't use too many colors in a single image. Oh, I like your Girlfriend's lava-lamp. ===== I really like the concept here, but don't see how it fits into the fition part of "science fiction". ===== Marignally a Sci-Fi image... Looks nice though. ===== Err ... I don't quite see how this fits in with the theme ... ===== This is LEFT. <- -> This is RIGHT ===== A pretty simple image, but the lava lamp is rather good. POVray gets easier with practice, trust me :) ===== Interesting idea, but a bit sparse on detail. What's the weird band around the central glass part of the lamp? It really detracts from the scene... ===== The planet spoils this one a bit, other than that...V.Good ===== I usualy like things with more action, but the thought was nice. ===== Very Tasteful. ===== Is this supposed to be sci-fi because there's a picture of a planet and a moon in the background? ===== I think the clacker and the lava lamp are a little too close to the edge of the shelf they are on. And the texture on the planet could have been a little nicer. And the starfield could use some work. ===== Very nice lamp. What's that band on it? The scene is nicely composed, but that planet looks weird.
