===== From s.day@uel.ac.uk: The work on the marble is excellent and looks very realistic, the scratches, bubbles and texture are all perfect. ===== From i-mcnamara@cornellcollege.edu: You'd think that the sphere on a checkered plane image would get old, but you've managed to add your own twist to the scene which keeps it new and interesting. Excellent glass work, and those bubbles do wonders for the realism. Good lighting and nice tiles, though the blur is more of a distraction than anything, at least in the foreground. Thanks for submitting. ===== From mickro.warf@laposte.net: simple idea with good realization for the minimalist topic very good job ===== From m-abel@columbus.rr.com: Take a count of the number of spherical objects on tiled floors which were submitted for this competition. Hope to see your work in the Opposites contest.
