===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Great concept, I liked the shadow that impled someone thinking about playing with the toys but elements were overly simplied. More attention to detail and realism would have improved this image. ===== From tigerhawk@stic.net: As a suggestion (take it with a grain of salt), moving the light source to the right of left would have skewed the shadow making the scene a little more dramatic. Area lights might have helepd soften the shadows too. I like the idea though so as a whole nicely done. ===== From a.martone@retepnet.it: Some good ideas, but the image could be very interesting if it was: - use arealight for main light source - use radiosity to not to get excess contrast between shadowed and lighted areas - use a lower contrast pattern for floor: not "white/black" but, for example, "grey50/grey70"; or, better, two granites - add some finish/reflection on plastic objects - don't use too much "ambient light" (the plastic objects, here, are "saturated") - place simple objects in the shadowed area, and complex objects in the lighted area. ===== From lefra@voila.fr: I think an area like would give better shadows, you could also have used just an image on a plane to do the boy. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Good concept, the shadow on the floor tells the story well, but the checkered floor detracts from the toys IMO. ===== From jgrimbert@free.fr: Good idea, more work needed. ===== From p.gibellini@teinos.com: Nice, but the textures are not much painstaking. ===== From file: Notable for composition
