===== From sshaw@fas.harvard.edu: What I like about this image is that you did not attempt to create a scene that was inherently dramatic or exciting. It is a room. But when one recognizes the pictures on the wall, it becomes more than just another room. I know that you went to pains to say that this was just an illustration of the chamber where Anne Frank wrote and lived, but I wonder about the historical accuracy of things like the lamp next to the bed. I would have liked to give more points for technique, but the distortion of the image bothered me; it doesn't take much to narrow the field of a POV camera, and I think that it helps if there are objects near the corners. ===== From Martin.Magnusson.7121@student.uu.se: Good lighting, I love the caustics. Curtain is good, too. But why is light coming out from beneath the bed? ===== From jerry@hoboes.com: Beautiful! Wonderful texture on the walls, although I don't think it works so well on the paper. The opening on the pillow is a bit too uniform, isn' it? ===== From jull43@ij.net: At her death of a typhus epidemic in Bergen-Belsen in 1945 she was 14. In 1942, 11 or 12. There is no indication in her diary of :"knowing" what the camps were. The family was initially sent to Auschwitz and then evacualed to B-B to save them from the Russians, being held responsible for their (all inmates) safety by Washington. The "rainbow" is sort of gratuitous without an object to generate it as are the variations in lighting on the wall. I think I see a "gooseneck" lamp in the background. I have never seen such a lamp save post war where they were a bit of a fad from a war time conduit pipe invention. Other than that the bed is quite impressive. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: The lighting is rather confusing, although I can see a bedside lamp, no light seems to come from it and it casts a hard shadow. The brighter patches on the left wall are on very unlikely places like there were some spotlights on the right side out of shot lighting it. Also the whole image is very grainy. If this is caused by the area light sources, a higher oversampling will cure this. And 3 hours does not seem too long. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Great curtains. Pillow looks too stiff. ===== From davidwilkinson@cwcom.net: A very moving and evocative image. Nice texture for the textiles. ===== From r@pluto.icom-solutions.com: Notable for originality, composition
