===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: This image has a really nice ambience to it. You have captured the message well. ===== From tigerhawk@stic.net: I really like the composition of your scene. It really says a lot to me adn evokes some emotion. You made the few elements in the scene stand out, but I feel somewhat lonely looking at your picture. I think it sends a powerful message. Nicely done! ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Beautiful work! The mood is perfect. I remember those poems also, and the gingham dog is just what I picture. Definitely a top contender. The dust bunnies on the chair look a little off to me, I think because I see the center of the sphere. Putting the center slightly below the surface would look more "bunnyish". ===== From jacoons@ameritech.net: Kudos for realism and details in dust and atmosphere. ===== From enrique.sahagun@uam.es: congratulations, very beautyful. ===== From jgrimbert@free.fr: Great light effect, but changing only two objects would allow to totally forget the topic. ===== From fine@head.cfa.harvard.edu: Man this is a great looking image. It really looks dusty. Nitpick: The dust balls look a bit off -- too round, perhaps. ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: The most striking part of the image is the strange lighting - the apparent difference of luminosity between the room and the outside world. ===== From p.gibellini@teinos.com: The dust effect is very interesting. Notable for the composition. ===== From jussi.kantola@iki.fi: Great visualization of the poem. ===== From mickro.warf@laposte.net: 'glglgl' frozen picture ===== From bertram.henze@t-online.de: Just wonderful. The whole atmosphere both visually and spiritual - toys not just for trivial fun, but representing the longing memory of a happier and more mysterious time in everybody's life. The pictures on the wall, however, seem a bit unreal because they don't cast any type of shadow - not the full tech merit for that, sorry. ===== From file: Notable for composition, originality, lighting
