===== From charliemc@prodigy.net: Love that light. ===== From hgregory3@aol.com: Technical - Some clever, hard work in here. ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: I like the accenting use of color areas against grayscale, the slightly stilted, overcomposed quality of the picture, and the enigmatic narrative of cut-open appliances and spilled liquids. ===== From steve@neurotrain.com: A 13 T 17 C 5 Overall balance is good. Lighting is great. The scene is awfully bland. There are 7 colours in the whole thing...most just shades of silver or white. Technically it is fantastic. The detail on the socket alone is worth many points. However, with all the excellence in the rest of the picture the stucco walls look really bad! The concept as you explained is quite a stretch...the cutway of a coffe maker is a bit vague. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Some nice work here. The spilled coffee looks good, most things are nicely shaped, and I like the limited use of color. I'm don't understand how the contrast you describe is portrayed in the scene, though. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: I usually say "bigger is better", but in this case I think you rendered the image a bit too large. Also, I don't quite understand what the scene represents: was the coffee maker cut with a laser or something? Good modeling work. Textures could use a little more work (is the sugar jar glass or metallic? is the coffee cup porcelain or plastic?). Good contrasts. The image map on the left wall seems to be rotated 90-degrees. ===== From hfventer@ing.sun.ac.za: Its a bit hard to initialy follow what is going on. A less "broken" and more "diagram" approach would have made it cleared ===== From mark.wagner17@gte.net: About a 15 for technical merit, and a 3 for topic. The connection to the topic is very weak. ===== From file: off-topic IMHO
