Very very good work author...extra points for realism...well done

Well-modelled with good texturing and lighting. Conceptually, I love the idea of self-sustaining, garbage-eating bacteria but feel the design of your bin is too basic for that. It looks likes the omnivorous bacteria inside the bin might escape from the place where you throw the trash and spread all over the world!

Fantastic author!! Great work. Plug sockets in the uk vary in height, as for scale i couldn't comment. All looks great to me

The floor looks fantastic, as does the trim, but the scale of the Electric plug is way off! Additionally, it should be 13 inches from the floor (to center)

Good idea with the light & dark.

Very nice! I love different takes on illuminated objects and dynamically lit scenes.

Congrats for 1st

A really good effort. The light from the mr omni's is definitely not bouncing off the mirror. I rarely use Mentalray, preferring Vray. However to solve your problem I would do away with the Omni's. Instead replace them with photometric freelights. These give off real world accurate photons. The problem will also be linked to your mirror material too. The mirror material should be completely black. with the reflectiveness all the way up. This is a neat idea and if the little problem with mirror is sorted will be excellent. Good luck

i hate to be a harsh on it,, but i feel the lighting is a bit off here.. The shadows cast on the surface appears to be very gentle however, the cup looks very dark in the mirror.. Could it be because you did not turn on "secondary bounces" for photons?...

Good modelling and texturing..

The table has hard edges. Smooth them to get better result. And the toothbrush should be a bit longer.

nice work....keep it up......

wow i like it

This is nice but personally I think your image should be brighter. Great job

Congrats, well done

Congratulations for 1st, great job.

Nice job looks great

nice texture on the water

i know its about the water but the concrete could look better or highlight on bump maps

I was almost blinded by the reflection from the ladders.. very nice and clean work, looks very realistic.

nice

great job, very real

really cool

Congrats well done!

Congrats for 2nd

nice work here author

hmmmmmm, not bad

Nice job. A few quick suggestions though.

1) The kiwis look a bit dry. If you have spec on them, it should be increased to make them glossier and give some nice highlights that will sell it as being juicy.

2) The kiwi slice that is resting on the other looks very stiff. Adding a slight bend in the middle would help enhance the realism of this shot.

3) The kiwis don't seem to be casting any sort of shadows. The top slice should be casting a shadow or at the very least there should be some occlusion between it and the bottom slice to help ground it.

Again, very good work! These critiques are only meant as food for thought so I hope you don't take it the wrong way.

Awesome work. Looks very authentic.Only the juice drops are missing.. Good job here.

Congrats for your second place, Palaekman!

very nice...gl

Nice idea, and a good looking end result top job!

nice effect

great....

Looks a bit dull, like you just started and then let it go.. you could add some extra buildings and textures (or some sort of rocket/lander/w'ever) to make it a little more interesting. Maybe some huge moon boulders/rocks and shadows for the background too?

congrats for third place....
