===== From jon@vulpecula.us: Very cool. Neat idea, and well executed. The smoke looks kind of faky though. Also, the tie-in with the topic is kind of vague... ===== From Kzerphii.Toomk@Wanadoo.fr: Surrealistic ! ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Nice! Great textures, especially the pewter mug. Steam is a little too solid looking. ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: Nice concept. I like it very much. Good work. ===== From pbrasolin@yahoo.it: Really cool idea. The only thing I don't like are those shadows... PB ===== From info@michaelscholz.de: Cool, I like it. ===== From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com: Very good work! The one thing that bothers me is some of the elements don_t look anchored down well. Perhaps some tweaking of the lighting would prevent the floating objects look. ===== From zio_tom78@hotmail.com: Good image. Some textures seem strange (e.g. reptyles, book cover) but others are really good (wood, bottle) ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Excellent work modelling the reptiles. The textures in the scene are also excellent. The smoke looks a little awkward. It seems a bit too solid to me, and the cone from which it comes seems a bit too well defined. ===== From emediez@emediez.com: Light is flat in some areas, which translates into a lack of necessary subtle shadows. Good composition. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Yes there are some good textures here. I like the consistently clean = overall style of the image. Not very original, though. Your concept = score suffers because of this. Many of the shadows are just too soft = and diffuse. The book and the box of matches are well done. I think = the woodgrain and boards in the tabletop are too coarse. ===== From file: I'll never by sponge animals again.
