===== From chipr@niestu.com: Very classy idea. I'd have liked it better if (1) you had done it without benefit of thousands of dollars worth of commercial software, and (2) this had been the only image you entered. The refractions through the top of the boot look very badly aliased, but that may not be the case. ===== From sroberts@learn.senecac.on.ca: LOL - love the "slipper". Too bad the details of the shape of the sole aren't visible through the upper part; perhaps if a different glass texture had been used, such as a smoked or coloured glass? Very nice. ===== From jay@map.com: I can see Alias's problems in the scene. But... how did you get the wrinkles in the pillow? (Height field?) ===== From richmiller@hotmail.com: Is the boot model yours? How did you create it if it is? Unfortunately this affected my technical merit rating. ===== From tholal@bga.com: Great pic. The indentation on the pillow from the shoe is great! ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: Glass Doc Martens? ===== From klynn@minn.net: Good idea! ===== From 93semeno@scar.utoronto.ca: Hey, that was my idea!!! ===== From tiger@mgl.ca: Easily the best image I've seen so far. Actually, I did notice the fact that the d-o-f blur disappeared through the slipper, and came to the same conclusion, before I read your description. ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: OK, this one wins. I'm stunned by your modelling ability. That is awesome. I went to your homepage and checked out your stuff. Your talent is amazing! Thanks for the English translations, I don't speak French that well. ===== From danclegg@uniserve.com: This is the ?'th from mr.naxos? Congrat's to him he won a grand 1,1,1 for submitting about 7 images. ===== From whytea@topaz.cqu.edu.au: Very realistic pic. ===== From rea@st-and.ac.uk: Ho boy I like this! If I really need to complain, I'd like the glass slightly darker, but otherwise excellent! Fabby cusion. ===== From mwhite@redshift.com: Nicely done. One of the top traces ===== From jmills@stic.net: I need this girl's number! She has great taste in footware :) ===== From amarok@geocities.com: Great work! ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: Yaay! Something besides another #$% wine glass. Nice job on the yellow sole stitching and laces. I give it three thumbs up.
