The desktop, the room, the pen, all *very* nice.  The plants outside the
window are especially good.  The only off-notes are the coffee cup--looks like
a raytracer texture, sorry--and the apple, which looks like a Nerf apple.  Not
that the coffee cup looks unrealistic, per se--I wouldn't mind owning one that
looked like that--but the texture was so obvious in a rendered scene.

From jsaxton@folio.com:

I really like how the trees look behind the window. The title of the image
implies that the apple is the focus of the scene, but the apple is flat an
uninteresting, and not even the center of focus.

That's the biggest darn cherry I ever saw.

Great coffee stains. I know them well.

From eallen@highway1.com:

The apple seems to glow.  The handle on the coffee cup looks... disjointed.
Interesting texture on the calendar, although there are some strange white
areas  on the lower left. The coffee stains are close but not quite "right". 
Would like to have seen some steam on the coffee.  The rest of the room look
very realistic.

Nice coffee rings

From jjanger@mail.cspp.edu:
   The concept was not quite original, but I liked the implementation. The
explaination of how you did the apple was quite enlightening. And you were
right, the maps did work well. The trees too.

From tlyons@gnn.com:

the apple and the cup could use some phong, they are too flat....

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
looks too skinny.  Excellent globe.

From shipbrk@gate.net:
Very interesting way to model an apple!

From sonya_roberts@geocities.com:
Got a giggle when I saw the "Prof. Newton" nameplate.  The apple is nice, though
it's colour is a bit too
bright and uniform.  The chairs look like they'ew out of scale with the desks. 
I liked the globe and the
trees outside the windows.

From jaime@ctav.es:
Interesting point of view, but some textures are too simple: apple can use a
green/red color map with gradient y and some turbulence?

I like the maps on the walls. Though simple, it looks really "schoolish". :-)
The cup is too much in the middle. Move it to the left (where it originally
was,
according to the rings), so it follows the "rule of thirds".
