The lamps and light patterns are interesting, but they are causing much
confusion to the actual geometry, IMHO. Using area_lights will help to make it
more realistic, if that is what you want.

From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com:
A bit unbalanced, but technically well done. I recognized the chess theme
immediately, but have the feeling that it always  involves two people, and is
therefore less than lonely.

From cherii@att.net:
Really interesting collection of images make a very unique picture.  I would
like to see the figure, and maybe the room, lighted a little better in the
shadowy areas.

From darwallace@earthlink.net:
The complex shadowplay is indeed accurate and effective.  Nice use of scale to
make the emptiness deeper.

Love the idea and the execution

From novotek@web.de:
high detailed and lovely textures - a nice work with pov.

From dapigg2000@yahoo.com:
Ouch. Very noisy image. Lots of colour & a white queen. I like it, suprisingly.
=====
From mvernon@srendered.com:
Wall textures way too busy. distracts from overall image.

From tim.nikias@gmx.de:
Well. She looks a little despaired, yes, but lonely? Can't 
really tell. Some more contrast, light & dark would have 
helped.

From suso@suso.org:
The projecting lights are rather distracting and take away from the detail
of your modeling.
=====
From rclee@oklahoma.net:
Good idea. The background is a bit too busy and 
distracts from the rest of the image.

From glenn@mccarters.net:
This image is hard to read.  Almost looks like a double-exposure.  =
Overlapping images or something.  The problem, of course, is the use of =
point light sources.  Some nice area lights (the size of each white =
globe) would greatly help here, by blending the hard-edged shadows.  =
Excellent work on the queen and all the rest of the models.

From jamesrskemp@eml.cc:
Wow!  What an amazing hall.  I question whether it would not have been
better to do the floor black, instead of aquamarine/green, or red (in
keeping with the color of the queen's gown).

=====
From p_chan@shaw.ca:
My feeling is that the shadows created by the light 
fixtures are far too strong, and make the image too busy.  
This detracts from the excellent modelling of the hall.

From patrick@sypa.net:
Yet again some poser !!!

=====
From StephenF@whoever.com:
I do and don't like this image.  The patterns on the walls 
are interesting, but they make the background look a bit 
too busy for my tastes.  (They also tend to draw my 
attention to them, taking the focus off the more 
important objects in the foreground.)  The figure looks 
good, and an excellent job of clothing her.

=====
From clem@dhol.org:
The chessy overlay isn't really effective.  Should have 
focussed more on the queen.  The queen's props are well 
done.
