From fmurr@free.fr:
metallic materials are really fine.

From staff@clickquicknow.com:
Nice, plain and simple.

From jouni@mikrobitti.fi:
Slight overkill with the shininess. The table could use some more detail or
perhaps a better texture. Is this the typical wall design in those regions?

=====
From ruy@hipernet.com.br:
Very realistic picture. Nice textures and great modelling. What I would improve
in this picture is the bacground tiles. They seem more fit to a western
bathroom than to an Asian room.

Anyway, nice work.

Nice image... really like the surfacing on the tea pot amd the cloth has that
hung look.

From emediez@emediez.com:
Beautiful image and charming concept. Is it "Tsampa" 
the name of that tea?

From daffy-duck@worldnet.att.net:
love how you made the mat curl

=====
From lrwii@joplin.com:
Nice reflections and wall hanging. The composition 
seems to me a little posed. Maybe a slightly different 
camera angle would have helped.

From kantell@qup.com:
I think the most interesting part of this picture is the tapestry hanging on the
wall.

From chris_hormann@gmx.de:
Really nice work technically, but seems somewhat unnaturally clean to me.
Also a thanka usually has a stick at the bottom to be rolled on.

From bbowen@cswnet.com:
Tea seems to be a staple in all of Asia. I very much like the distorted
highlights on everything; contributes to the realism.

From jrcsurvey@aol.com:
Nicely controlled detail, such as in the wood grain of the table, the hanging 
form of the carpet, the rattan mat, and of course the tea setting.  The 
background tiles don't quite keep up but all in all a beautiful job!
