===== From chipr@niestu.com: Very sweet scene. ===== From jay@map.com: Very nice scene. The moon doesn't quite stand out all that well, though. You're right that halos increase render time, though the lense flare does a good job. ===== From cgallego@nordnet.fr: Quite good picture...but your glasses are a lot too thick... http://home.nordnet.fr/~cgallego ===== From mickmcm@indigo.ie: A little too dark, which is a shame because the objects are great and so is the composition. ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: Hey everybody, he's mastered the art of scerene without being boring!!! Thank you! Many of the artists in this month's competition could learn a lot from this image. ===== From mbrown@spry.com: I love the subtle moon. ===== From rea@st-and.ac.uk: Watch your lighting. Glass likes a nice contrast, and low ambient lighting is good. ALso, you would be hard pressed to find a candle which produces that level of lens-flare. ===== From mwhite@redshift.com: Very nice use of the lenz flare. I like it! ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: Swanky! Everything looks great, except the plastic-looking flower, which bears an unfortunate resemblance to a cheap bathroom air freshener. There are some much nicer rosebud models you could borrow from other contest entries, so this isn't that big of a deal. The moon looks especially good. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: The light/color on the candle is beautiful. I don't like the plastic rose on the window. The ribbon is a nice rouch. From web_user@tonyv.aztec.co.za: A good picture. Notable for textures, modelling, composition, lighting
