===== From chipr@niestu.com: Cool lighting. ===== From sroberts@learn.senecac.on.ca: Nice image - I like the reflection of the windows in the polished floor. The "projection" of the light onto the floor is distracting, as the angle of the projection from the original window position changes too dramatically from left to right; I suspest the light source is too close to your windows, so the rays are diverging by a *MUCH* greater angle than if the scene was actually being lit by a distant sun. Some interior lighting to show interior architecture would also be nice; as it is, the top half of the scene unfortunately looks more like a bitmapped image than a raytraced one. ===== From jay@map.com: While it's a great scene, I do have trouble with the floor - it's a bit too dark in my opinion. ===== From cgallego@nordnet.fr: It's surely difficult in pov to do that, but try to be more original for next time... ===== From tholal@bga.com: Very nice ligthing effects. ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: Neat image - the contract of the sharp focus of the windows vs. the fuzzy distorted reflections has a nice effect. ===== From klynn@minn.net: Great combination of relflection and refraction. You might consider turning up the ambient lighting on the stone wall. ===== From tlyons@gnn.com: could have used more in the background ===== From 93semeno@scar.utoronto.ca: It'd be nice to see the wall. ===== From tiger@mgl.ca: Rather impressive. The dark back wall could have used just a smidgen more light, and something I noticed with the light falling on the floor through the windows... your light source is probably quite close by on the far side of the glass, wasn't it? It causes the rays to spread apart at quite a sharp angle, whereas sunlight would result in parallel projections onto the floor. It's a very cool effect, though :) ===== From mickmcm@indigo.ie: The reflections work really well. Perhaps the colorless glass needs a shine or something just to show that it's there, but aside from that it's a really nice picture. ===== From mjhammel@emass.com: Very nice image. Simplistic yet effective. Well done. ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: A little more ambient light would be nice to see the facing wall. If enough light is entering to make the reflections, there ought to be enough light to see the wall. ===== From danclegg@uniserve.com: Who me? Oh yeah. Um.. Nice. ===== From schmij3@rpi.edu: I like the water in the window. ===== From rea@st-and.ac.uk: The stained glass looks OK, but the image in general is a bit 2D. Most of the image could have been done with a paint-package. ===== From jmills@stic.net: Hmmmmmm, I think I like it! Great reflections. jmills@stic.net ===== From xeo@sprynet.com: The refletions on the floor looks good, but the windows and the wall around them are to flat and uninteresting. Next time try a slightly off center camera angle, add a little side lighting(maybe from Z+X+ of the scene pointing at the windows for example) Good job on the stain glass though! ===== From efry@zeta.org.au: I like the design in the windows, I think you need to show the texture on the wall to make the scene look more natural. ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: This is a very simple scene, but the lighting effects are powerful. The sea is a nice touch; almost overlooked it until I read the text entry. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: Nice composition. I really like the "3 views" of the windows concept. From web_user@tonyv.aztec.co.za: Very pretty
