===== From chipr@niestu.com: Cool lamps, excellent fruit, nice table. The composition seems a bit contrived, and the lens flare is a little bit overdone, especially for oil lamp flames. Very good use of color. ===== From m-kolb@uiuc.edu: Impressive. Perhaps a black atmosphere could be added to darken the scene slightly and separate the foreground from the background. However, overall I give this image high marks. Nice job! - Michael J. Kolb ===== From jay@map.com: The only thing I've got a problem with in this scene is the lighting: Way too bright, in my opinion. ===== From seppo.halonen@hut.fi: Oil lamps? Way too incandescent.. A more modest lens flare would have been better. ===== From cgallego@nordnet.fr: There should be a "meritorious" rating... Just because you used Amiga/Real3d http://home.nordnet.fr/~cgallego ===== From richmiller@hotmail.com: Very nice composition and colors! ===== From tholal@bga.com: The fruit looks great! ===== From klynn@minn.net: viva amiga! ===== From tiger@mgl.ca: The only comment I'll make here is that the lens flare / glare is a bit too emphasised. The rest is very good :) ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: I like the star filter you have. I just hate it on this image. You have a "quiet" image with rally "loud" lens flares. Why bother? A soft glow with the lens reflections might have been nice, but for this image I would have omitted lens flaring altogether. It makes your image almost annoying. My inner child wants to cover your image with spray paint. ===== From usmitc04@mcl.ucsb.edu: it takes more than lens flare to make a good picture ===== From danclegg@uniserve.com: Coooooool! Verry pleasing to look at. That's got to be some kind of volitile wax for that size of lense flare. ===== From rea@st-and.ac.uk: Nicely modelled - shame about the lns-flare ;) Seriously though, the image is a bit light-flooded, which detracts from the nice modelling/texture work, and the flares are *far* too bright. Good otherwise. ===== From mwhite@redshift.com: It does not matter to me what render engine you are using. The image looks wonderful. ===== From wyvern@u.washington.edu: Gorgeous image. Absolutely great, except for the lense flares. You mention photography - take a picture of a candle sometime, and see how the flare comes out, even if overexposing the flame. (Not even the sun itself can produce a flare that large). Other than that, I love this one. :) ===== From jmills@stic.net: Long live the Amiga! ===== From amarok@geocities.com: The fruits are great. ===== From ptdawson@voicenet.com: It's a nice scene! Don't worry about it being non-POV, it's actually rather cool that you made it on an Amiga! ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: Very nice modelling, especially the green apple. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: Excellent overall lighting. I think you should have staggered the grain on the wood edging of the table. (Its not possible to saw a piece of wood and line up the grain *that well*. :) Bonus points for mentioning 'Amiga'. From web_user@tonyv.aztec.co.za: Nice apple.
