===== From tony@j4tb.com: An excellent interpretation of the theme. Abstract yet focused a tough balance to get. ===== From stephenhasmail@yahoo.com: Very good theme interpretation. Interesting to see something different. From an artistic viewpoint, I think the scene could use more of a central focus (maybe cluster objects in center). ===== From shout@ozten.com: This is my favorite image so far... Philosophically this is a very interesting subject. The image is a great representation of the theme. I only wish I could see download a hugh version too check out all the detail. Excellent work! ===== From whhale@nvl.army.mil: Good Job!!! I enjoyed it very much. ===== From marlo.steed@home.com: Nice image but a bit too busy... ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: One of the better alchemy entries for this round, this takes realistic-looking objects and uses them to create a nice mysterious scene. The decision to use dark glass really helps to make the scene, along with the lighting. Another good example of a cluttered scene that isn't too busy. Minor criticisms are that the tubing coming out of the teardrop- shaped flask could use some smoothing, and the texture of the scroll seems rather flat compared to the other objects in the scene. Still, a very nice scene. ===== From whitey@telefragged.com: random, i don't even know what it is. ===== From albiaprime@aol.com: Wow! Well researched, good notes (although stating all the copyrights of all the software you used is a tad bit much of overkill. So that you know, next entry all you have to do is name the software you used). Very impressed, lovely picture. But hard to judge. Why? Because you chose not to use the recommended 800by600 IRTC format, we had to scan around to examine the image and had to use a 2:1 reduction to see the image in full. Suggest staying within the maximum dimensions next time. ===== From file: Notable for modelling
