===== From zekaric@yahoo.ca: Lack of a background, of any indication of what is holding the icecube puts this image in limbo. Flame could use some work. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Nice surreal idea. Would benefit from a more photo-real image, e.g. isosurfaces for the ice cubes and the candle wax, photons through the glass of water, etc... ===== From ian_c_thornton@hotmail.com: Good concept. The wax drips on the candle all look too similar and don't merge into the candle body as they would in real life. Are those caustics on the paper? If so, they're too contrasty. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Interesting concept. The flame needed to be more transparent and and have glow around it. ===== From jgrimbert@free.fr: The fire is not lighting the water. The black background should be filled. The ice-cubes looks too plastic like. the base of the candle should be filled with some water ? ===== From file: I appreciate the nonsense. The water and the flame look a bit too solid. Notable for originality
