I would personally add some glow to the flames and the books at the left look too the same to me, but for the rest: EXCELLENT!!!! This is such a rich scene! I love all the small details, the colors, composition, the mats... Wonderful!

<------------speechless (EXCELLENT)

Wow, I love this.

Wow, Thank you taranvainas!! I don't know what to say. I didn't think the old image could get any better but you did it. I love the new lighting here. The bookcase at the back looks great in this light. Also the wooden beams in the ceiling to the right look better now you changed the design and textures. I notice you added a few more objects to the room too. I love looking into this picture. I keep seeing things that I didn't notice before. Excellent work again taranvainas!! I voted for you. Can't wait to see more! Mike. :o)

Aye, this approaches the great studies in detail and intricacy! The only thing I'd consider changing is the lighting, although perhaps you've already achieved the look you were going for? It's grand...!

the detail is simply outstanding!!!!

Excellent modeling,lots of details.Great scene.

Thank you very much, friends. I do it for all you. And thanks for the advices, because I need them for to grow. Saludos cordiales.

Love all the detail :) That's one thing I really like is to see a scene jam packed with goodies. So much to look at. Excellent.

I'm just sitting here waiting for a wizard entering the room :-) Very very nice work !!!

Excellent work. I could reach out and pick up that glass ball.

That must have taken forever to compose.

Wow, I'm sure I wouldn't know how to improve it. However, I would like to ask taranvainas to do variations on it, since the picture is soooo rich... Could you give us the some scene with different camera angles, different lighting, and so on... The picture is just so good to contemplate!

The title confuses me a bit - I expected hot stones. But I keep looking and noticing more and more tidbits. Wonderful place to be in.
