===== From sroberts@learn.senecac.on.ca: Fantastic image. I think the focal blur works very nicely with the subject. Any suspicious things growing in your petri dishes *grin*? ===== From cgallego@nordnet.fr: Good use of dof... But your glass texture is a little bit too leaded... http://home.nordnet.fr/~cgallego ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: I like the sense of brightness this scene has. ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: The flask in the foreground hurts the image. ===== From danclegg@uniserve.com: Why's it all blured? ===== From rea@st-and.ac.uk: I like the soft-focus - good work! ===== From amarok@geocities.com: You're right - some extra blur_samples would be great. Good-looking image anyway. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Apart from the speckled focal blur the specular highlights on the glass are to dim and too large for real glass. ===== From ptdawson@voicenet.com: You wanted to use Spiral and CTDS - Just check section 7.1.7.3 of the POV-Ray docs for the #version directive. That *should* let you use any old style POV-1 code you get from older utilities. ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: The focus looks fine to me; the only nitpick I have is with the two red flasks; looks like they should tip over and spill. (Maybe there's an out-of-focus stand that I'm not seeing? ...) From web_user@p5-01.z03.glo.be: Notable for composition
