===== From nitro_glis@yahoo.com: it would have been nice to read what you were going for with this image. ===== From philip.chan@home.com: You've managed to create a pretty realistic looking scene. The wood texture could use a little work. It looks too artificial compared to the rest of the objects in the image. ===== From javaearl@hotmail.com: Highly vivid imagery. ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: Very nice! ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Some nice work here. Bullets and other objects look good. I like the reflections in the pot. The solid band of shadow down the left side of the table seems a bit much to me. Not really sure what the artist is trying to say here. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Quite good for a first-time POV-Ray image. Fine models and composition. But I can't figure out the source of the jarring dark shadow slicing across the scene. Keep up the good work. ===== From will@ism.com.br: Hey, i am left-handed, ok ? ===== From tm-ray@consistent.org: Pretty good for having used povray for three weeks. :) What's the symbolism of the ammunition, though, particularly with the stamp it has? Surely someone who has kids isn't going to leave any randomly lying around on the kitchen table, so it's got to be symbolic of something. The terrorists didn't use guns, so what is it? The text of the newspaper is kind of bland, and I think perhaps you could have used the writing there to clarify your intentions with the image. Extra points for using a picture you took yourself. The three locks and the peephole are a nice touch for a New York apartment. You're a masochist to have put a reflective object right where it would require you to model the rest of the kitchen, but it turned out well.
