Excellent bee. Excellent wooden things.

From d97ta@efd.lth.se:
like the stained and worn windowsill, but you forgot to destroy the walls!
the glass jar is very well textured.

Are you nuts? Possibly, but it is one hell of a picture. Well done.

From buck@cs.byu.edu:
VERY nice.  The dings in the wood add a great deal of realism, as well
as the crack in the window, the nails in the boards, etc.  Good
attention to detail.

The bee seems overly large, though, considering the size of the cactus
and the jar.  Intuition calculates that bee as something like 5 - 8 cm
long (YIKES!).  The flower seems kind of large, too.

All the same, this is definately in contention for first-place!

Excellent. Fine concept. Very well modelled. Perfectly textured. Wow!

=====
From djconnel@flash.net:
Excellent!

Re the sun : you are nuts :).

The wood texturing is very well done!!!  The attention to
the grain orientation is what makes it especially realistic, and
the dents in the surface (and the stain) are all details that
make this one a top-class piece of work.

I like the multiple aspects of nature represented -- natural wildlife
(bee), natural "domestic" life (the plants), natural materials
(the wood), natural food (the honey).

Everything about this scene is well done -- it is a "natural" contender
for the overall.

I lvoe the marked up wood, good realism there.

Is this a ray-tracing or a photograph? :) Nice job!

From arcana@sinbad.net:
Very nice image. The flower looks unusual and is not a type of flower I'm
familiar with. The bee needs a furry finish to the black and yellow end of it's
body.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
This is really good.  My favorite detail: the stain on the windowsill.  Also the
nails in the wood.
Great imaginative concept.  Nice soft, but vivid, lighting.  The flower looks a
little alien, but everything else is quite realistic.

Fantastic. Nopthing more need be said.

From peter@table76.demon.co.uk:
I think this has to be one of the most photo-realistic images I've seen!
