===== From charliemc@prodigy.net: Good work. ===== From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au: A very interesting image. I keep staring at it and seeing more details. If that's rose in the wine glass, it should be more reddish, no? The wood grain is a little stark, and I still haven't worked out what that chckered plane is at the left, but artistically this is very nice. I'm willing to grant that this was based on Contrast, but I'm afraid it's not very obvious where the contrast is just from the image itself. ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: Something seems to lurk, a sense of magic? or the metaphysical? ===== From steve@neurotrain.com: A 10 T 15 C 15 For me the grainyness really throws off the image - I am not sure of the compression did this, as you text file does not mention the grainyness. Artistically you have good layout and good lighting..but too much glass and strange wood. Techincally the modelling is very string, but the texturing brings down the mark. I find good wood can only be acheived by image mapping - I know it's cheating, but I have never liked the renderer generated ones. Interesting take on the concept ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: The vase and roses look nice. The wine glass isn't bad, but the shape reminds me more of a brandy snifter. The wood texture on the table in the foreground could use some work. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: There is a ragged edge to this scene, as if all the textures are a little grainy. Good theme with the multiple roses. I find the nearby glasses to be too close to the camera, distracting. ===== From hfventer@ing.sun.ac.za: The background strething into black is a bit bothersome.
