These are both great images. Toxe has done an amazing job with the details, and Pixelicious -- I find myself wondering what happened. Good job to everyone who entered, and special thanks to Zenstar for sponsoring the contest (and ponying up an extra prize). Looking forward to the next one! - Dex

Congrats to both of you. Well deserved wins. Toxe's artwork has caught my attention before and I think there is a lot to learn from this picture. The way the background details add to the "real" feeling. And the way he's made ordinary objects look actually quite beautiful. I'll never look at a bottle of juice quite the same way again! And I'm really impressed at the way Pixelicious made a picture that implied a story. I'm wondering what might have happened as well. An accident? Violence? Or maybe with the kids away at school Mom and Dad are taking advantage of the moment, and enjoying wild passion on the breakfast table! I love pictures that do that.

Congrats all! I actually felt that these 2 would definitely be the top contenders when I saw them! Definetely quite detailed and very well done!

congratulations to TOXE!

enough. i think i'll display this all on my
website and supply the link here on the forum.
please give me about a week to get my many
test renders organized into a coherent
presentation.
i'll happily field answers to any questions, too.

Hi all, is 1:47 am in Italy, and i'm too tired. Tomorrow i will post a more serious message (not like this) about this contest. Pixelicious, your image is too great and i'm impatient to see new images in your gallery :-) Thanks to all. Is all for now, later TOXE

Both are fantastic examples of the creative mind at work (& some of the comments are very creative also, twillis). Congratulations TOXE & pixelicious. I really like the depth of field, color & placemat in TOXEs image & especially like the unique perspective of pixelicious composition.

Ok, excuse me for the previous message, but when one is tired there are no other solution like the sleep:) Thanks to all for your comments and approval, there are the best thing and i'm very happy. I think that the image of Pixelicious is exceptional and better of mine in fact of realism. TOXE
