I do like the window reflections on the balls.  One thing that I noticed about
the balls though, especially the white ones: they look very pearl-like, or even
like a white balloon -- I can't shake the feeling that they're hollow, that I
could blow it off the table.  How much transparency was given on the ball
surface?  I might have to find that in the include file...

From jjanger@mail.cspp.edu:
   Quite a lot of detail, yet it lacks a backgroud that would give the image 
more dimension. A back wall or something seems to be necessary. Good trick
with the chalk BTW.

From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
Sorry for your windows, indeed. You may be surprised, but the part I preffer is
the
piece of chalk! I have never seen one as realistic as this one. Sorry you had
not
enough time to step down the antialiasing threshold (the ruler!)

From mcivor@wolfenet.com:

I liked the scene with the extra detail in the reflections, it adds a really
interesting effect !

From jaime@ctav.es:
Tipic, but very well realized.

From sonya_roberts@geocities.com:
I liked that you continued your scene beyond what was visible "on camera" - the
reflections in the
infinity-ball really add to the realism of the image.  One small problem...you
have so many soft
shadows that the balls end up appearing as if they're floating just off the
felt, rather than
sitting on it.

From Jean-Luc.Peuriere@wanadoo.fr:

Note there is a form of billiard called artistic billiard where the purpose is
to realise a figure drawn with chalk on the table ;-)

Not bad, not bad at all.

From cfusner@enter.net:
Other than being a basic POV object, pool is also a fairly quintessential
game of physics. However, I liked the original touch of adding math
symbols to the balls. That elevated it out of the realm of cliches. It
is hard to tell for a long moment what vaguely bothers me about this 
image, but then I realized: there is too much reflection on the balls.
I understand it was an effort to show off more of the room, but it does
look a tiny bit too glossy.

From alex@astro.queensu.ca:
like the balls' reflectivity, very realistic

From SSchanevil@aol.com:
Nice chalk dust and chalk lines.
Interesting observation... If I'm looking down the table long ways, the stick
looks like
it would hang over the edge of the table too far to stay there (it would tip
over to the floor).
If I'm looking across the table and it extends far to the right, the stick
should be 
flat on the table.  Am I seeing this wrong?

From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
I like the chalk drawing, looks quite natural, also the unusual font for the
numbers on the balls.
Hey, what's "American snooker"? I though snooker was an original British game.
The billiard balls have too low specularity.
