===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: First, please don't run down your own work. It kind of puts me off and say "why in the heck did he enter it"? Actually the scissors are fine and the over thickness of the spatula is not apparent. I think we all are often too critical about details others can't see. For an improvement, I would rotate the wood grain on the top and bottom pieces of the test tube holder. Nice imaginative image keep up the good work. ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: AMAZING wood texture and test tubes! BOring alien. ===== From newkirk@snip.net: Flubber? ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: Your models are pretty good and the lifeform is very active and appears alive. Good job! ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: The glowing flask is an interesting effect. Why is all this stuff sitting on the floor... or is this a HUGE table? ===== From MMandl@aol.com: The background could hve been more interesting. ===== From djconnel@flash.net: This is an interesting extension of the usual raytraced still-life theme. Your use of color and texture is very nice. ===== From east103@dialaccess.com: A different kind of alien. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Yes, quite artistic. You seem to have got in first and done your own comments! ===== From blaineholmes@hotmail.com: I really like all the interaction between items, the light and the reflections. Interesting scene. I like the effects of the lights in your objects. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: First: nothing wrong on not-evident themes. Well, it depends, of course, but in your case is very logical. Second: thanks for the non-UFO scene; you're right, there are a lot... and Third: Nice idea, surely the one and only for this concrete theme. I only was disapointed by the lack of more scenery to cast more interesting reflections/refractions on the glass.
