Brilliant job on this one, fantastic realism.

Really beautifully done!

Master piece author...one of the best renders here on PXL IMHO...Love the usage of the floor texture and the realism of this entry is simply amazing...Once more,well done and instant fav from me...Best of luck

gosh, this contest is soo hard to vote for, so many great entries, and this is one of them. I just love it, especially the page part, where I can see the pages and the dirt from the fingers. This is superb.

If not for the sbs I would say you entered a photograph, this is very life like. great job.

congratulations......you deserve the first!...my hat it's deep down!!!!!

Congrats really nice work

congrats on the win.

Many thanks everyone for all the comments votes and favorites, as always very much appreciated.

Congrats for 1st place. Excellent work.

looks good, nice job

Look pretty real to me! Nice job! GL!

A good effort, though I wish the background treatment didn't compete with the journal texture and look so flat.

well! it has become more modern

Nice job. looks pretty real except for the floor. GL

awesome job on the book!

Very good ! Fantastic reproduction

Thank you everyone, Asante Sana.

Wow! This is really great! A lot of great entries in this contest. Love this lighting too.

I'm stunned what you guys can do, just terriffic, love the texture and lighting.

crap ,how does one vote on these, hard to say one is better to a couple of them as they each have unique characteristics

Well thanks for all the positive comments guys

congr!

well done.

Congrats for 2nd, fab job.

Wow well done! I look the mystic look it has.

What a amazing piece author...well done

Will await SBS before voting.

Really beautiful book!
But I'd bring up the lighting on the LH side, it's too dark and does not accurately reflect the lighting above the book on the table. The light will illuminate the entire surface, not just the book.

I actually really like he lighting, I prefer that to flat product lighting. Lovely..good luck

Classy lighting. Always like good lighting on entries. This one has it! Big time!!

love the lighting, too. Would want to open and read in it. I'm a sucker for books.

Suburb work, and the table is well done also

thank you all for your comm..and fav!

Congrats for 3rd, great.

Wonderful job, pretty realistic render. Well done !

Muito bom cara! demais...

Awesome

Fantastic work author...well done

Thanks for all the comments

Wow love the wallpaper, very realistic look to it. nice work.

Pretty cool work, you just entered this so i'm gonna get in quick and suggest that you size down those glasses, they look far to huge in comparison with the book. Other than that little fix, you've got a good piece.

The book is only 17 x 10,5 cm (open it is 22x17) and my glasses measures 15x17.

Alrighty, Sorry Author. I can't argue with the facts lol. Must just be a trick of the eye.

love how you distorted the writing seen through the glasses! Miss a bit of shadow underneath but other than that well done!
