===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: Yes, despite the time constraints this is an excellent picture, and I like the way you worked the contrast into the theme. ===== From : The items on the table are very well done indeed. It may be just a coincidence, but the woman looks exactly like my last boss :) The only real trouble with this image is that I just don't get the feeling of loneliness here. ===== From jpgargoyle@sapo.pt: Technically very good but doesn't fill the topic quite well IMHO. Best regards ===== From rclee@oklahoma.net: Nice textures. ===== From jrcsurvey@aol.com: Stunning. Very subtly alludes to the inner psychology where loneliness is e= xperienced. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Good work. Glad to see you made it under the deadline. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: The smooth, natural tone of the objects on the table is very nice (is that the radiodity? I assume so). Does the crack in the wall have meaning? Including the Matisse was a nice touch. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The scene looks very good overall. I like the inclusion of the painting in the scene. One particular detail in the texturing that stands out to me is the flower pots, which don't seem to be done as well as the rest of the objects in the scene. They don't really give the sense of being made of any real material. ===== From patrick@sypa.net: Great pict with great ambience ... but your poser female looks lifeless. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Beautiful. It is interesting that you didn't consciously set out to parallel Matisse. The objects, textures and lighting are all quite good. Only complaint is that the woman looks a bit too serene.
