===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good textures, especially the coffeecup! You are right, the coffee isn't quite right, not sure what, maybe darker. ===== From ggargett@attbi.com: Nice splashing coffee! I also like the unusual canvas dimension. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: Nicely frozen, detailed and crisp picture. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Some very good texturing and modeling in this scene. Focal blur also helps. But perhaps some more motion blur could of been added? Would be a bit tricky not to over-due it of course. ===== From N6re@mminternet.com: The solution is to realize it is hot chocolate and include some vapor to insure that it is hot! ===== From raytracing@grayproductions.net: My wife's favorite shot! I like it too, nice work. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Very beatiful image. I think real coffee is a lot less reflective, maybe try that to get it look more realistic. ===== From david.madore@ens.fr: A very vivid picture. Its simplicity greatly enhances its qualities. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: Nice composition. It looks very "french". ===== From clem@dhol.org: The cup and saucer are very good. The coffee texture isn't too bad in my opinion, but the spoon seems unrealistic. It looks like it is made of some exotic metal or perhaps metallized plastic. The detailed tablecloth is great. ===== From MarkNitschke@gmx.de: Nice. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The materials look very realistic, although I would recommend scaling the texture of the tablecloth down, or at least just the "brick wall like" part of that texture, as this seems too large when near the camera. ===== From batronyx@alliancecable.net: I've had Monday's like this. :) ===== From jfempire@yahoo.co.uk: Good work Buddy...Btw U must be a rich one 8-) ===== From slone@hiwaay.net: Nice vertical framing and composition. The brick pattern on the tablecloth was a good idea for a weave texture, but it might look better scaled smaller. The liquid in the cup looks different from the splash, but maybe it would in real life. ===== From r@jerkweed.kiva.net: What is causing the cup to move? ===== From r@wdcax11-129.dialup.optusnet.com.au: nice clean image Notable for originality, lighting, textures, modelling, composition
