===== From mjklein00@msn.com: Great image, nice details! ===== From elvish_archer@mailcity.com: I think the main problems is no life in the lab ===== From stephenhasmail@yahoo.com: Objects are very nice, but you're right, the composition isn't great. It kind of turns into a clutter instead of a layout. The spotlight wasn't a bad idea, but it makes the scene very unrealistic. ===== From shout@ozten.com: Nice book! ===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: Looks like my desk. By not having a complete picture in mind I think you have more acurately captured an early lab environment. ===== From marlo.steed@home.com: Very nice image... nice use of color texture and mood. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: There's definitely some nice work here. The microscope looks great (good decision to make it the primary focus of the scene). I like the drawers on the little wooden cabinet too. The lantern could use some work, and the curving on the book pages looks a bit too angular to me. The shadow cast by the scale adds a nice touch. ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Very nice details here and there.Liked specially the contents of the bottles, very reslitic. Only lighting is a bit strange, with that spolights. I would have prefered a more natural light for filling, as a sunlight trough the window. Very good anyhow! ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: Very nice. I'm impressed with the microscope and the brass colouring macro - I must try this myself. The book code sounds painful, but it looks pretty good. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: I particularly liked the way the book's pages look. This one was fifth-equal in my voting. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Artistic: Nice, microscope needed a bit of shine on the brass. Technical: High marks for a very, very impressive second IRTC entry attempt. More impressive that NO modeler was used. Theme: It's a lab ===== From file: Notable for composition, modelling
