===== From exether@demo.xandmail.com: All looks very quiet and old. Good one. Everything is a bit too perfect, the wallpaper looks like it was changed the day before. A carpet on the ground would fill the empty space in front of the door. ===== From noe.falzon@tiscali.fr: It's too bad that the colors are a bit "pass_es". But maybe it is to go with the grayish tint of all the image... A kind of decayed world... ===== From god@rajram.com: A great image! While it feels a bit sterile, I don't think its appropriate to attack senile people. ===== From sigmanufratguy@netscape.net: Nice image. I think it's a stretch to say it portrays decay however. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Nice! I love your floor! Very good lighting & texturing. Scaling of some of the objects seems odd, particularly the size of the door in relation to the desk & harpsichord. ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: This concept, a decay of ideology, is very fascinating, but at the same time difficult to depict. Somehow you manage to bring out the right atmosphere in this image. The light is great, but you have some problems with the finish of certain items, the clock looks like it_s made of plastic, and the floor is way too flat. But the dullness of the light really helps you bring out your message. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Very good image. Will be one of the top contenders this round. ===== From Knight-Graphics@earthlink.net: The door is huge! Continue to push the limits of your imagination (and your computer). ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: The choice of colours works well in this image. While it may appear peaceful at first, by no means does it seem cheerful. The spaces between the floor tiles in the bottom centre look somewhat awkward. Perhaps this is an artifact that could be cleared up by increasing the quality of the anti-aliasing settings. ===== From slone@hiwaay.net: While your interpretation and text are interesting, there's not much in the image to communicate its meaning. While it doesn't need to stand on its own, the image should contain something that could lead the viewer to guess/learn its meaning. I think you made the right choice on the door, it could be even shorter, or maybe it could be open more. A lot of good work here, but the textures look a little flat, perhaps because of the lighting washing them out. The side shadows look great, but everything is lit by a fill light so it all seems unnatural, almost glowing. Wonderful bookends. The scale of the wallpaper looks unrealistic, to me anyway. The butterfly plaque and the frames look great. ===== From file: Very original. The textures are not all that could be hoped, the have no depth. The lighting and modelling, however, are excellent. Notable for lighting, modelling
