===== From jon@vulpecula.us: I like this...a lot. Very, very cool. Great! Only thing that comes to mind...the lighting and coloring seems a little flat...kind of washed out. Still...wonderful! ===== From helene.dumur@free.fr: All the details are technically perfects, and the whole picture is really incredible. I would like to have it in my house... ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Nice one! Good concept, modeling. Good use of media. Shadows seem inconsistent in spots. ===== From thegreatbambeeno@yahoo.com: Lighting ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: Great image, great concept. ===== From somers@w-link.net: Spectacular art. ===== From pbrasolin@yahoo.it: Great picture, probably one of the best of May-June. PB ===== From ralf@treuherz.de: Cool. The best idea in this round. A puzzle maker which does the puzzle of himself making the puzzle. Truly puzzling ;-) ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Another very great entry for this round! I love it. ===== From zio_tom78@hotmail.com: Very good image! It lacks some detail, but it is indeed very effective and is built on an interesting concept. ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Nice work creating the puzzle pieces, although they do seem a bit thick to me. The candles look quite good, but they seem a bit too smooth at the top. The flames look excellent. ===== From emediez@emediez.com: Beautiful concept and image too. I think that a little bit of shadows and adding something to the background of the character, would give the image a more mysterious ambience. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: One of the mysteries I see is the material of the tabletop: is it glass? = Because many of the objects seem to be floating above it. Good work on = the subsurface scattering technique. The scissors and dice are = incongruous -- why are they here? ===== From file: Very cool idea. Notable for originality ===== From file: This idea is great. Who is the man - Sir Simon Rattle? No really, it's very good. One of my favourites this time round. Notable for composition, originality, modelling ===== From file: I like this picture, but it would be better with the floating formulae, and if the puzzle were not floating. Cool idea. Notable for originality, textures
