===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Nice work. The falling snow is the most realistic I_ve seen yet in the current irtc submissions this round. The frost is a nice touch. Good modeling on the tree. The fire looks good too. The only real complaint I have is why is there nothing on top of the fireplace ledge? Especially during the winter season?! ===== From yrtrouble2@hotmail.com: Very good image! The warmth of the room contrasts nicely with the cold outside! ===== From pokorny@attglobal.net: Best falling snow in the competition and I like the warmth and color very much. ===== From tom@tomandlu.co.uk: Very nice work, but let down here and there by the textures. ===== From lamere@speakeasy.org: Nice tree, fire ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: Like the lights.Great texture on the window. The fire place could use a grill to hold the wood. The window's sill counld be narrower and tilled. ===== From peter@table76.demon.co.uk: Using media for the tree lights might help with rendering time while still giving the right effect. ===== From file: Nice colors and contrasts Notable for lighting
