===== From agage@mines.edu: The flame could perhaps use some transparency in its color map, so that it does not look so solid. ===== From sanna@censa3.polito.it: A very good idea but the model of the flame is modest ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Good idea (we have to say that considering our entry was similar). Well done on your first full image and as you say, it needs a bit more work. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: I agree, a background is not necessary to this scene, and the glass deoes look solid. Good overall theme and harmony. ===== From uwe.post@gmx.de: good idea. ===== From djconnel@flash.net: I like this scene... it has a lot of potential! Re the background -- I like the black; it increases the sense of the localization of the light, which is what attracts the moths. I agree with your comments -- it's clear with a little more time this would have been even better, Dan ===== From r@dial-up30.webbernet.net: Nice play of light and color. I like the moths as they are. The brass could maybe use a little tasteful shining. I agree that a background is needed. The flame is too smooth and regular. This comment by clem@dhol.com.
