===== From rgow@lanset.com: Nice texturing & lighting! Seems like if the cup has already made solid enough contact with the floor to break, there should also be coffee on the floor... ===== From ggargett@attbi.com: Very photographic. Easily the best of the "spilled liquid" ouvre. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: The crack in the cup is a nice detail, and I like the way the coffee flows. I'm not a big fan of focal blur, though. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Almost a photo-real image, but the background blurring looks too grainy for my tastes. Good interpretation of theme. Some motion blur would of been a bonus here. ===== From N6re@mminternet.com: Coffee break takes on a new meaning! Nice focus, technically, the coffee would be splattered by the time the cup broke...sure is weak coffee! Fine wood pattern! ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Very nice image. But I cannot see why it would take so long to render. I understand focal blur and caustics are CPU-intensive, but 1,5 days still seems excessive for one small image on a fast Computer. ===== From david.madore@ens.fr: This is a very good image. I only regret that the coffee seems to spread a little too far - or a little wrong, or something. ===== From llama009@hotmail.com: the floor and background make the coffee spillage a little hard to see, the cup is great though ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: I like the texture on the coffee cup. You need to make stronger coffee (it looks too much like brown water) ===== From clem@dhol.org: Very nice cracked cup and frozen splash. The blurred background distracts me more than a sharp one would have. I don't like it. You might have gotten more drama by showing the coffee splashing off the floor a split second later. ===== From MarkNitschke@gmx.de: Looks very good, espiciallythe "top" of the coffee. Very well done. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: I agree that the coffee needs more drops, but it still looks very good. I like your choice of colours in this scene. ===== From slone@hiwaay.net: Excellent image, though a few drops would probably have hit the floor by the time the cup cracked. The focal blur is a little grainy and sudden, almost as if there_s a frosted glass wall a few inches beyond the cup. The liquid and floor look great. The global illumination is nice but it leaves the cup floating over the floor a bit. I_m picking nits, though; the overall image is great and I_m looking forward to seeing more of your work. ===== From noe.falzon@tiscali.fr: That's very nice and realistic. I realy like the wooden floor. ===== From r@evrtwa1-ar6-4-46-159-115.evrtwa1.dsl-verizon.net: Notable for composition, modelling ===== From r@jerkweed.kiva.net: The idea is fine and the composition of the picture is well done. But the way the coffee spills out and the way the cup cracks are distracting. It just doesn't seem quite right. Notable for composition ===== From r@cntr37979s.dmps.k12.ia.us: Good job with the liquid coffee, and the cracked mug. I would like to see the picture a few moments later, with the peices of mug having moved in apart. Notable for textures, originality, modelling ===== From r@cntr37979s.dmps.k12.ia.us: Good job with the liquid coffee, and the cracked mug.
