<P><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>Looks clean indeed ... but what really caught my eyes is the watermark on the 3rd image (from left to right) well it would really help if you had posted a bigger version of it... and the other thing are those two lamp shade effects , I could be wrong, but it dosen't seem to go with the first and the third and the last one, which i really don't blame you cause like you mentiond 'was in a haste'.. Neo how bout some explanations about this one? Like how did you go about creating this whole effect for our young indian artist and others fas well...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>Ok one question i would like to ask.. may be you compositors can answer that. say i pick&nbsp;neo's first or the second image or even better render a beauty pass and add grain will that help him achive a very realistic output.. just something bothering me....</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Overall good work Neo</FONT></P>

Hey NEO !!<br>
<br>
NEAT STUFF !!<br>
<br>
Like "SOUL" said it would have been easier to point at stuff if u had posted bigger images<br>
<br>
i have a small suggestion though <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"><br>
<img src="http://www.abhinava.net/vindo/misin.jpg" border="0"><br>
<br>
list of things missing in ur recreate when compare to original photo[ the last one rite ? ]<br>
<br>
1 shadows in the corner [ convincing shadows are important part of any lighting ]<br>
<br>
2 shadow color , note : the shadow color can be a important element in defining the quality of light and time as well<br>
<br>
morning shadows usually have bit of pinkish light blue, afternoon has
dark blue,&nbsp; evening has dominant orange, dark violet, dark blue
towards nite. [ note this shadow colours also get effected with the
object colours around it ]<br>
<br>
3 the reflections penetration is less in the original and gives a
felling the room has been used, the blur and fade blend well in to the
floor.<br>
<br>
<br>
last one ! u may ignore if u feel its unnessary : the original image
has a lense distortion in the sides, since your&nbsp; framing is much
wider could use some distortion, it would look great <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0"> with a bit of film grain as-well.<br>
<br>
this i feel is only applicable for making it look photorealistic, but if
u were just&nbsp; messing with it,&nbsp; have fun exploring !!! <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"><br>
<br>
AGAIN NEAT STUFF ! GREAT GOING <img src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0"><br>
