Cute concept.

From sroberts@learn.senecac.on.ca:
I liked what I could see of your lamp; too bad you did not make this your
central focus; it's shade
in particular is very stiking.  I also liked all the various-shaped vases on the
glass shelves.

From jay@map.com:
While glass may contain silicon, might this be pushing it a wee bit?  :-)
Though aside from the pictures (*could* have used some previous competition
traces for the images... ) it's a well balanced scene.

From beliaev@utu.fi:

What about silicone (a polymer...)?

From seppo.halonen@hut.fi:
I don't see much GLASS here... Neat lamp shade, though, and decent setup.

From cgallego@nordnet.fr:

Tasteless...

From tholal@bga.com:
I like the shelf with the vases.

From bill.marrs@pureatria.com:
I have this knee-jerk reaction to pictures of pretty women added to scenes.
In this case, I really think it looks strange.  They don't fit in the scene 
very well.  I do get the "implants" joke, but I don't think it was worth
disturbing the atmosphere of the scene with it.

From tiger@mgl.ca:
Most textures are good.. except for the wood. The floor is okay, but too
regular, and the wall textures could use some tuning up.

That lampshade is interesting.. gonna have to figure out how you did that.

And yes, I chuckled at the title. :)

From mickmcm@indigo.ie:
Relating silicon to glass doesn't work for me. It's a nice picture, well
rendered, but your reasoning is a little too scientific.


=====
From mjhammel@emass.com:
The lamp doesn't look quite right - it appears the neck of the lamp
is offset from the base and the point in the neck where it enters the
shade is too distinct.  This latter may be on purpose if the top of the
neck is made of brass or some other metal and it enters the rest of the
neck at that particular point.  Also, the shadow under the table on the
left looks too clear considering how dark the table glass appears.  That
might be ok, though, depending on the glass and my point of view with
respect to the light source.

Other than that, looks very nice.

From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu:
Ok, I have a problem with the photographs in the image, but you get a 20 on
origionalitly. A bit of Chemistry: Silicon dioxide is the sand for glass. That
isn't the same silicon compound in the body enhancements (hey, that almost
sounds PC)
However, it IS the same silicon compund used in the pottery, so that was
actually a good interpretation of the theme.

From danclegg@uniserve.com:
Lots of lathes.

From schmij3@rpi.edu:
Nice pictures of Pamella Lee

=====
From rea@st-and.ac.uk:
Not bad - my basic quarrel is that it doesn't seem to suit being traced.
Try to decide on a scene which suits the method, before going ahead.

From jmills@stic.net:
Wow, there's a lot going on here. I'd like to see a little less repetition in
the floor texture.Excelent texture work.

From amarok@geocities.com:
The pictures of Pam look stretched, but otherwise it's a nice image, especially
the lamp in the forground. Pretty vague connection with the theme, though.

=====
From nirschl@scripps.edu:
From your text file: "No further comment dared". Why do you think the Baywatch
pictures are necessary, or why did you put them in? I find them to be 
offensive and completely out of place. 

=====
From xeo@sprynet.com:
Nice shot overall.
Few suggestions... First, add a little bit of randomness to the spacing of the
vases. This will help it look more natural.
Second, your little kinectic ball thingy is slighty out of scale(yeah I know,
real biggy)
Third, you need to make sure the pictures are kept at the correct aspect
ratio(Pamela comes out looking more distorted than normal)
Oh yeah, nice lamp!
=====
From uvasst00@mcl.ucsb.edu:
Nice concept I like the inclusion of all the different silicon objects.

=====
From efry@zeta.org.au:
The lamp shade looks nice. I think that the wood grain used for the walls is a
bit heavy.

=====
From no13@ozemail.com.au:
I would have scored this higher on the artistic if the Pamela Anderson pics were
not there.
Not that I dislike the pics, but they done fit the scene.

=====
From lpurple@netcom.com:
Nice collection of vases. (I won't make any "jugs" puns :).

=====
From dick@buckosoft.com:
This would have been a much nicer pic without those silly breasts.
I don't mean that in an anti-breast way.  The embedded gifs are out of
proportion
to an otherwise well colored scene.

women are not trophys. i do not see what this has to do with glass.
