Very sweet scene.

From jay@map.com:
Very nice scene.  The moon doesn't quite stand out all that well, though. 
You're right that halos increase render time, though the lense flare does a
good job.

Quite good picture...but your glasses are a lot too thick...

From mickmcm@indigo.ie:
A little too dark, which is a shame because the objects are great and so is the
composition.

Hey everybody, he's mastered the art of scerene without being boring!!! Thank
you! Many of the artists in this month's competition could learn a lot from
this image.

I love the subtle moon.

Watch your lighting.   Glass likes a nice contrast, and low ambient lighting
is good.   ALso, you would be hard pressed to find a candle which produces
that level of lens-flare.

From mwhite@redshift.com:
Very nice use of the lenz flare.  I like it!

From lpurple@netcom.com:
Swanky! Everything looks great, except the plastic-looking flower, which bears
an
unfortunate resemblance to a cheap bathroom air freshener. There are some much
nicer rosebud models you could borrow from other contest entries, so this isn't
that big of a deal. The moon looks especially good.

From dick@buckosoft.com:
The light/color on the candle is beautiful.  I don't like the plastic rose on
the
window.  The ribbon is a nice rouch.


From web_user@tonyv.aztec.co.za:
A good picture.
