===== From chipr@niestu.com: Excellent mood, very appropriate lighting. And except for the opaque blue part, that's definitely the best candle flame I've *ever* seen in a rendered image. ===== From sroberts@learn.senecac.on.ca: Nice image, though a tad dark. You loose a lot of the detail of the bottle and wine glasses against the blackness; for example, it appears that there is wine in the glasses, if I look very closely where they'd most lit by the candleflame, but because of the blackness they look empty. The upper portions of the glasses and the bottle all dissapear against the backgroun too. Perhaps if you'd done a very simple background suggestive of a nearby wall (wallpaper?) and kept the colour muted the objects would display better? ===== From jay@map.com: The lighting is such that the bottle and the wine in the glasses doesn't really show. The bottle's label is about the only clue to its existence. Aside from that, it's a wonderful scene. ===== From cgallego@nordnet.fr: good ambience... http://home.nordnet.fr/~cgallego ===== From tholal@bga.com: Excellent candle flame. Nice lighting also. ===== From jjanger@mail.cspp.edu: The cloth inside the case is a fantastic touch. ===== From 93semeno@scar.utoronto.ca: I like the mood. It's very well captured. Only there is no way that ring fits into that box closed. :) ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: I like the fire. ===== From Matthew_L_Ziegler@hill-top.com: I like the flame ===== From rea@st-and.ac.uk: V. nice flame, and generally nice image. Beware when tracing glass though, since with a black bckgrnd, you lose a lot of your glasses. ===== From jmills@stic.net: Mmmmmmm....Very nice! ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: I like the bottle label. The blue part of the flame if to dark. ===== From quinet@gamers.org: Nice image, but you missed the opportunity to have a light shining through the diamond (either the candle or some other light). A bright spot on the diamond would probably make the image better. Also, the blue part of the flame should be more transparent. The yellow part and the halo around the candle are very good. ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: The candle flame looks good. I'd move the candle to the right, and the box to the left, so that you can see both better. From web_user@tonyv.aztec.co.za: If I had a vote ... Beautiful. Notable for originality, lighting, composition
