From sroberts@learn.senecac.on.ca:
*VERY* nice scene - a real jaw-dropper on first viewing.  I did notice a couple teeny details that could stand to be tweaked; the top of the candle is too smooth, and when a candle melts at an angle like this it invariably gets a blobby dribble of wax running down the side.  The canld eflame itself is too narrow from side to side.  The lighting is spectacular; very atmospheric *G*.  I think the only other thing you could try to acheive perfection would be to slide the window open a little and put some very simple filmy white curtains blowing just slightly in a breeze.  But maybe that would be gilding the lily.  20-20-20 anyway.

This image kicks ass.  : )
The candles could use a little help, but other than that, I've given your 
image the highest marks so far. Well done!

Not so original, but very good ambience...

This scene is similar to some of the others (window with sunlight, eyeglasses, 
bottles, etc...) - but it's done very well.  Very well done scene.

There is a certain atmosphere to this image. It really has a mood. I especially like the beams of light coming from the window. Feels like someone is about to get knocked off. :)

Amazing. All the objects I've grown to hate somehow work in this scene. Nice job.

A good all round image.   Watch your contrast with glass, and most especially
with atmosphere - the colours can get a bit flat.   Also, you probably want
your halos to be a bit fatter - the candles look almost like lit dynamite ;)

Nice lighting...nice

From amarok@geocities.com:
Great pic! Just one thing - I think you should have used a higher ambient value
for the candle.

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
Very atmospheric setting; great lighting! The wine bottle seems too reflective
and the wine a little bit too light, but the overall work is excellent!

From uvasst00@mcl.ucsb.edu:
A little too dark.

I like all of the shadows, and the atmosphere - nice scene!

Very suave; you can almost hear French accordian music.

From dick@buckosoft.com:
very nice colors.  Great use of "dark".


From web_user@173-127-214.ipt.aol.com:
It was so dark, it was difficult to understand.

Notable for composition, lighting


From web_user@tonyv.aztec.co.za:
Nice atmosphere. But the red (?) wine looks a bit insipid. Or is that port?
