===== From chipr@niestu.com: Very realistic image, good use of focal blur. Took me a while to figure out what the bell was. (That is a bell, isn't it?) ===== From mmandl@aol.com: Liked "the world". too much focal blur. ===== From amarok@geocities.com: The bell is very good! How about some extra blur_samples? The background looks a bit grainy ===== From eallen@highway1.com: I have been marking down for "apple on the desk" scenes, but your use of focal blur makes this acceptable. ===== From shipbrk@gate.net: The focal blur adds a lot to the feeling of depth and realism. ===== From sonya_roberts@geocities.com: There's just way too much focal blur in this image. It comes off feeling more like you're trying to cover up poor modelling than that you're using it as an artistic effect. More specifically, you'd have been better off playing with the settings until at least the foreground objects were all in focus. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Nice use of camera and blur. Nice modelling too. Jaime (jaime@ctav.es) ===== From marvil@algonet.se: I like the bell, but I don't think the globe should be out of focus.
