===== From klynn@minn.net: Good photo-realism. Would make an effective animation. ===== From agage@mines.edu: A very nice image, especially the motion blur. Mouse traps are good, especially the inverted one with the price tag on the back. ===== From jjanger@mail.cspp.edu: Great image. The textures on just about everything are perfect. The motion idea worked liked a charm. This does have the impression of things hopping around. I like the warning on the mousetraps. Other things like the price tag and the focal blur are fine finishing touches. ===== From tlyons@gnn.com: heading for a tennis ball meltdown eh? ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: The best one! And the text is interesting too. A little comment on the wood which is not as good as the rest, but i really like the sticker ($.49) on one trap! ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Simply Amazing... ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: snap, snap, snap...neat, nice essence of movement. ===== From libelle@webbwerks.com: Very impressive! ===== From sonya_roberts@geocities.com: What can anyone say about an image as exceptional as this? I loved it! We used to use those exact same mousetraps when I was a kid; I can remember getting my fingers pinched quite nastily by them. I like that you mapped the wood texture of each mousetrap differently. I liked the price sticker on the up-turned mousetrap (just like the ones at the local hardware store...). That motion blur effect is amazing; I bet you're going to get a lot of requests for the code. I hope it or an optimised version of it makes it into the next POV version! (20-20-20) ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Worthy of being the POV-Ray website featured image. Haven't I seen an image like this elsewhere? ===== From cfusner@enter.net: Very impressive results with the motion blur! This custom compile is something the POV-Team should hear of. Certainly beats out any attempt at faking the blur we've seen (short of manually averaging separate images, which, as you noted, is illegal for the IRTC). Pity about the added time, but the results are very nice. ===== From alex@astro.queensu.ca: one of my favourites ===== From warwick@troll.no: Excellent variability between objects. ===== From SSchanevil@aol.com: Wow! Fantastic mousetraps! Cute experiment too. Motion blur looks great too. Overall an excellent entry. ===== From marvil@algonet.se: Very good sense of motion, good choice of colours, interesting concept. Very good. ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Absolutely wonderful image! I have never seen this experiment in reality, but movies of it. Very convincing motion blur! ===== From web_user@sf-pm1-28-28.dialup.slip.net: Notable for originality, modelling
