===== From charliemc@prodigy.net: I love that light. ===== From tim_cutho@smileyface.com: Cool Models, and great contrast! ===== From hgregory3@aol.com: Artistic - Good composition overall, but a bit much light seems to be shining on the champagne bottle giving it an over-exposed look. Technical - I hate to be nit-picky but the wine in the glasses looks kind of solid, like a cone of material sitting in the glass. Perhaps if the colour went further out to the edges of the glass it would look more realistic. The hotdog bun texture in the foreground looks rather wooden in appearance while the distant one looks perfect. Concept - What a unique contrast, a diamond ring and hotdogs!! ===== From steve@neurotrain.com: A 15 T 13 C 17 Nicely balanced and the camera angle is great - frames the image well. Lighting needs work..you need to account for the reflected light from the candles (a 3d artist's worst nightmare, but necessary). Technically Modelling is quite good. Textures need practice. A couple of real word anomolies however, hurt the picture.: That glass/plastic table is amazingly thick! Cork disappears into plate. Flames look like wax Nice effort on the rose... The hot dog, especially the garnish, looks great. Concept makes no sense - hotdogs go great with Champagne ;-) ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Cute concept. I like the ring, and the silverware looks pretty good. The hot dog bun looks like it's carved out of wood, but the condiments look pretty good. The wineglasses look nice, although the stems seem way too thin. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Nice simple still-life, with a twist. Yes, your candle flames could use improvement. I also don't like the position of the left candle, directly in front of a wood beam. Nice glassy table. Hot dog bun is inedible. Seems to be a green tint to the entire scene. ===== From hfventer@ing.sun.ac.za: The light is a bit too yellow. Candels are generaly more orange.
