Being from Seattle I too would like to do this.  After 
about two viewings, I find Chihuly's art tiresome.  The 
wood grain on the table needs some work and the 
carpet shows tiling.  The broken glass work is very good 
and the ropes and stanchions look about right.  

Mainly, I feel you missed an opportunity to work with 
some nice lighting effects.  Chihuly's art is often 
displayed in dim rooms with well placed spotlights..

Carpet is fabulous.  Wood pattern seems unrealistic, in contrast to remainder of
image. Glass looks odd, but I don't know whether that is appropriate to the
object being modelled.  (IE, is it supposed to look opaque?0

From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com:
Connection to theme is tenous.  I wish the camera was closer to the action so we
could see the object d'art better.  You did a nice job on the carpeting (which
has been a difficulty of mine)!

How many pixels per minute does the TI-86 render :)

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Simple, but nice detailing on the cordons and the hammer.  Clever title.
Yes, it is a "cool idea for a raytrace", but I don't see much connection to
"First Encounter".

Well, I suppose its best one get these things out of ones 
system
via raytracing.... :)

Nice job with the glass and the rug.

From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
The image is very well done.  Topic connection tenuous.

Sorry, but I really don't understand nothing, specially how this is related to
this round topic...
