===== From noe.falzon@tiscali.fr: It's is very nice. No need, indeed, to put a lot of thing to express this simple (and so complex) thing that is the language. Your flames are well done, and the wooden texture quite realistic. Congratulations ===== From Knight-Graphics@earthlink.net: Continue to push the limits of your imagination (and your computer). ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good concept! Candles look too hard, should be softer, rounder near the flame. ===== From uglycasanova420@hotmail.com: pretty good, but something is missing. ===== From terraform@upnaway.com: Not too bad. The papers look good and the lighting and shadows look good too. a little work on the top edge of the candle would set this off nicely. nice flames ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: The concept works. However, the image would be improved by more attention to details. For instance, the candles need a more realistic texture that emulates translucency. ===== From file: Glad to see your first entry into the contest. I wanted to make it a point to provide some feedback, but for a first entry it is pretty good! I think the shadow on the right hand side is a bit dark. Even in low light situations there is some ambient light reflected from the environment so no shadow should be completely dark. I would have preferred the whole image be a bit brighter, but definately keep with the yellow/orange color of the lighting. Notable for textures
