I'm back at regular poving... not because the inspiration suddenly returned,
but because I'm more determined to get back anyhow. As someone said, the
inspiration needs to find you working when it returns...
To restart, I decided to do yet another "still life", just because it's
something you don't need much inspiration to complete it decently. The
result is getting interesting, specially these strange photons from the
bottle...

that's great, Jaime! Good to see a master back at work...
it reminds me of one of your early scenes: bodega... :)

I like the textures and the lighting, but I'm not sure about the
composition. Imho there are to many vertically aligned objects: the candle,
the bottle and the vase.
I'm no expert in composition, but this is how I would do it: I would use the
bottle as a candle-holder (with some dripped wax along the sides, keep the
glass, the vase and the peaches (they are peaches, right? well, they look
like peaches :)) where they're now, and add something metal lying on the
table in between the bottle and the vase, not sure what though (maybe the
current candle-holder (what's the name anyway? :)), but lying down?)
of course you'd lose the interesting caustics :(
cu!

Nice! The peach fuzz is perfect, and the lighting has just the right amount of
dim and mysterious!

Hmmm... Love those textures!
I partly agree with Zeger's comment on the composition. I think candle and
bottle are too close together somehow, and maybe you could use a portrait
format for this image.

Could be because both use only one golden light? ;)
BTW, next on my "remake" list is a "wine cellar" scene with these barrels
and a wider view of the cellar, similar as how Jhu did recently.

Yes, there is something disturbing about it... but I'm not at all a
conscious composer: I usually do trial&error for the composition. In this
case I didn't finish yet this part... and here you suggestions can be of
great help, thanks.

Yes, I was already thinking on something like this... but on the other
hand I liked the idea of having a bottle with wine still in it. Perhaps I
can have two bottles, one as candle-holder and other with wine to drink.
Indeed, I also toyed the idea of making a more general candle macro which
accepts an object as parameter, to make the dripping fall over it... but in
my head it seemed a too complex use of trace(), and I wanted to just make a
quick scene to get ride of that lack of inspiration.

I'm glad it was clear they were peaches... I didn't mention it on
purpose, to see if someone asked "what the hell is that fruit?". But seems
it is at least recognizable as a peach thanks to the aoi pattern.

This is indeed a great idea... as if the beautiful candle holder was
discarded for being too nice, and replaced for a more rustic holder instead.
It is worth a try... ;)
> of course you'd lose the interesting caustics :(
Not necessarily... I can have two bottles! :)

Thanks! The fuzz is a simple aoi texture from withe to orange, with a bit
of ambient (0.1) and a granite micro-normal. For the lighting I had to use
two white boxes at the sides, out of the camera view, to reflect some of the
radiosity back... otherwise the scene was too dark.

Yes, I must try the portrait format... seems like it's crying for it, now
that you mention it. Thanks!

Jim Charter did something very convincing in this direction in one of his
African ritualistic objects.
