===== From s.day@uel.ac.uk: This is very good, I was suprised to see that the flower was modelled with CSG. Nice work on the glass as well. ===== From douge@nls.net: Nice work. The shadows seem too dark and hard-edged, but overall it's a nice image. ===== From i-mcnamara@cornellcollege.edu: Great work on this image. The modeling is fantastic, it's very hard to capture the organic with POV-code. The lighting and textures look excellent (gotta love those photons) but the amount of realism displayed by your flower contrasts with the CG nature of the plane. While still keeping it simple and minimal, could you move your vase onto a table top or shelf? That would even do a better job of showing off that focal blur (which I'm guessing drove up your render time). ===== From am3n_r3@yahoo.com.au: Simple, elegant ===== From ryanbennitt@lycos.co.uk: To even stand a chance of rating 90+ images, I had to separate the images out into three separate categories, "Minimalist art", "Scenes depicting minimalism" and "Minimalism in the real world". This came top of the Scenes depicting minimalism category, well done! ===== From file: perfection Notable for modelling, lighting, composition, textures
