JPGFILE: mg_last.jpg ZIPFILE: mg_last.zip RENDERER USED: POV-Ray for windows v.3.1g TOOLS USED: sPatch AC3D SoftCad Lite library Corel PhotoPaint (compression and signature) Crossroads (convert .dxf to .pov) RENDER TIME: 34m 08sec HARDWARE USED: Intel Pentium III 500MHz, 160MB IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Contrast as a mean to difference and compare one or more objects. Roses differ in color and position, and also in the context. The name Rose applied to the wine, wood (Rosewood) and usually the meaning that roses communicate, a memory, a happy or sad feeling. It is the last rose (white), and the last rose (wine) in the image. Maybe the last minute. Visually, and since any object must present a light contrast to be perceived, the vase is the central (in space) point. Mirrors support and amplify lights, to discern forms.
