From sroberts@learn.senecac.on.ca:
Nicely modelled - I especially like the fine details of things like the bubles
in the boiling
beaker, and the shaping of the base of the bunsen burner.  That orange around
the base of the beaker; is
that the mesh being heated or a cooler flame wrapping around the beaker?  Also,
it looks like your test tubes and beaker 
have metal rims; is this the case, or is that just an optical illusion?

From jay@map.com:
Very nicely done!  Love how the bunsen burner's flame was done.

From seppo.halonen@hut.fi:
The image looks a bit too dark for me.. Maybe some more background would help.

From cgallego@nordnet.fr:

Nice, and original...
Just, you should have had a background wall or blurred pic...
And also, in my time, chemistry things was stand on white tiling...

Great effect with the steam and bubbles.

From bill.marrs@pureatria.com:
It seems a little dark - though the darkness does give it character.

=====
From tlyons@gnn.com:
way too dark, lots of details lost...

From tiger@mgl.ca:
I really am amazed it took *that* long to render this scene...

From mickmcm@indigo.ie:
Nice n' moody. The lighting and the handwritten notes add much to the
atmosphere.

From mjhammel@emass.com:
Nicely done.  The focus of the image is the glass, which helps this
entry alot for this particular round.  Other entries were nice but
the focus was not the glass.  You're use of resources is rather impressive
too, although you'll forgive me for hating you for having an entire
lab you could run this through.  :-)

From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu:
A little more ambient light would have been nice. I can see everything in the
image, but I think that the burner flame on the metal gauze ought to illuminate
the scene a little. maybe a red-orange point source at 20% the intensity of the
other light would have made for a better lit and more realistic "glowing hot"
effect for that half of the image. Other than that, it's nice.

From whytea@topaz.cqu.edu.au:
Some very neat effects here, i like the heated metal and the steem.
the scene may have been a bit better with a background maybe ??

=====
From rea@st-and.ac.uk:
A good image.   Only point is to remember when tracing glass/mirrors, 90% of
the perceived texture comes from backgrounds.   Forgetting this can cause
`plasticcy' textures.

=====
From mwhite@redshift.com:
Nice concept!  The image is a bit dark, but I think this was done to show the
glass ?

From jmills@stic.net:
I can almost feel the heat off the top of that beaker...heh heh heh.
Gee, I wish I had the equiptment you used to make this...:( Jmills@stic.net

From amarok@geocities.com:
Great flame!

=====
From xeo@sprynet.com:
Needs something in the background. Nice bubbles and steam...

=====
From ptdawson@voicenet.com:
Excellent! The flame and the bubbles are absolutely perfect.

=====
From lpurple@netcom.com:
Could use a little gamma correction. The boiling beaker looks -really- good,
esp. the interaction of the blue flame with the gauze, and the realistic
bubbles.

=====
From dick@buckosoft.com:
I love the bubbles in the beaker.
