===== From agage@csee.usf.edu: Is it just me, or does that countertop extend really far back? ===== From witoslaw@kki.net.pl: The scene is generally nice, but the tea is TOO RED. Looks like HOT BLOOD!!! ===== From jerry@hoboes.com: Good job all around! Your tiles and wood might be a bit too reflective. The handle looks awfully big compared to the teakettle--like it's going to make it too topheavy. But still a nice scene, and the steam was a good touch. (Especially since it brings it on topic :*) ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Wonderfully un-PC checker pattern! The reflectivity of the tiles on the wall isn't quite right. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: The kettle is quite nice, as is the steam. but I think the handle is bent too far forward and a bit too big. There is something wrong with the refraction of the glasses, they look as if they consisted of a solid block. Look through a clean glass in reality, it ony distorts the background near the edges. ===== From johnson@pharmacy.arizona.edu: To many busy and bold texture make this scene clash. Need a more subtle touch. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Nice. Perhaps it shows too evidently the lack of scenery behind the camera. What about a simple big image map of a room scene behind? (To not really have the "invisible" objects on the scene). Very good halos too (a pain that sintax changed in version 3.1 ;) ===== From Varyk@aol.com: I'm not really sure what's happening with the red liquid in the glasses. = Are they made with highly refractive material? Somehow, I feel that if = they were that reflective they wouldn't be that refractive, that one or t= he other needs to be reduced. ===== From arcana@sinbad.net: Ahh, the bane of reflective surfaces: Where is the rest of the kitchen/room the scene is set within? All I see in the reflections is an infinite checkered surface. However, this is still a great looking shot. Nice work on the kettle. :{) ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Good effort. A few more objects in the background (such as tables, chairs, doors, windows) would give better reflections in the teakettle surface. ===== From jesse@kesmai.com: The steam halos are quite good. ===== From r@206-72-253.ipt.aol.com: Very nice picture, although most heat-resistant glasses are non-transparent. Notable for lighting, textures
