===== From williamb@thirdroad.com: This is a really nice globe to start with, and the depth of field is perfect, giving it a most real feel. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: The particles inside the doom look realistic for fake snow seen in these snow-domes. Unfortunately, you are right when you say you can see artifact effects of these outside of the dome. The dof effect you used can help to get the viewer to focus in on the main object, however the dof here looks low quality imho. Perhaps it_s due to the plug-in and not you though. The glowing effect from the windows is excellently done. It really does bring out great character and make life appear within the structure. ===== From yrtrouble2@hotmail.com: I very much like the lighting on this image. I feel I could pick up the snow globe and shake it. And I like the background blur. ===== From rjhansen@myrealbox.com: The snow in the globe looks very authentic, i.e. really like the glitter they usually use in those. I like the cropping of your image too. ===== From pokorny@attglobal.net: Light from the cabin and use of focal blur makes for a warm image. ===== From tom@tomandlu.co.uk: There've been a few of these - I like the lighting on this one. ===== From edward_dixon2001@yahoo.com: Not quite the most original subject, but the best rendition of it I've seen yet. ===== From lamere@speakeasy.org: Best snowglobe of the batch ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: Like the overall effect. The tree hardly noticable, in fact I didn't even know it was there until I read about it. ===== From file: Notable for composition ===== From file: This is very nice. The components of your picture are blended quite nicely. There are a few artifacts. Notable for lighting, textures, composition
