Nice concept. The skull doesn't look anything like a skull unless I really
try hard, though. The problem with parts of your first glass turning black
might be that the rays were passing through too many transparent parts. There
is a maximum--you can increase the maximum in global_settings. I think it is
"max_trace_level", but read the docs for global_settings and you'll see if I'm
right. Nice use of focal blur.

 the pitcher and glass look really nice, but i've got to ask: that's a skull?

Appropriate simplicity. Bezier patch artifact on head is distracting.

From amason@cs.uct.ac.za:
quite nice. like the glass, tray, pyramids, jug.
Not sure about the skull, seems unnecessary and picture would work
better (from the point of view of composition anyway) without it.
Open space on left, pyramids further to left to balance jug?
dunes could be better maybe.

Not that complex but still a pleasure to look at.

I like the focal blur.

Good glass.

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
Nice idea and good modelling with the glass ware and water. I think the skull
looks a bit odd and is too heavily and too regularly textured. The pyramids in
the background and the focal blur are really good.

Darkness in transparent objects can be lessened by increasnig the
MAX_TRACE_LEVEL

Nice desertic light. The skull texture it's a bit confusing, perhaps.

From Varyk@aol.com:
dark in the glass...maybe you ran into the same problem the Poolside imag=
e did with the tabletop (see poolside.txt)  Sorry about the skull.  Maybe=
 if you had made it sorta yellowish-dirty and cast it in shadow...almost =
missed the can, and wouldn't have known what it was unless you told me.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
I agree, the skull needs more work, in fact I didn't even recognize it as a
skull until I read the text file.  Nice modelling of the glass and water.  And
the small touches of blue/purple reflecting in the glass add lots of life to
the image.

From ulf.schreiber@gmx.net:
The blue reflections of the top of the sky_sphere (i think?) give it the
"extra"! 

=====
From chipr@niestu.com:
Interesting concept, nice elements.  As you note, the skull is a weird shape.
I do like its texture, though.
