This looks good. Simple concept, but well executed. However...your text file seems to imply this was a scan-line render, not ray-traced? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt i guess...

Nice job on the rust! Wood is a funny color.

From hildurka@simnet.is:
Nice image but a question pops up in my mind. While making such a simple scene, why not make two different keys, with differing textures instead of copying one into two? Still a very nice image, good lighting, great textures.

Those keeys look very realistic. Good work.

From pbrasolin@yahoo.it:
Very realistic keys although you used 3DS Max. >;) PB

From ralf@treuherz.de:
And another question: What is mysterious about two keys ?? 
BTW: very good modeling and texturing, but a bit off topic.

From info@michaelscholz.de:
Try some fill lights next time to get rid of the pitch black 
on the keys.

From the_dark_allies@hotmail.com:

A nice start, but for me there needs to be something else to this scene to add a story, despite being a mystery.

From zio_tom78@hotmail.com:
Keys are very good, the floor a bit less. I am not sure whether I appreciate this interpretation of the theme or not: it seems a bit too simplicistic.

From p_chan@shaw.ca:
Excellent work on the textures.  You've achieved a very 
realistic look.

Why not two quality textures instead one?

Robert,

If you really want to bother people write a novel but leave out the last =
page. People will go nuts! They will be left hanging in suspense and be =
left with only questions. And the longer the book the better - don't =
just stop at 300 pages. Oh... we're talking about images... ok, don't =
just stop at two keys. You didn't give me enough momentum to push me =
into wondering about the keys. I'm sorry but they just look like two =
keys. You need to suggest more behind it. You don't have to give away =
all of the answers (supply the last page). For example: a shadow of a =
person on the floor, or a couple drops of blood, or some feet, or a hand =
reaching for them. I understand that you wanted to keep it minimal but =
you have to go a bit more. If the keys were hanging on a wall - except =
it was a knife rather than a hook holding the ring up. .What kind of =
knife? I need more clues before you can expect me to get involved. You =
need an anomaly. Something like that knife, something in the picture =
that shouldn't be there. That is the thing that will get us to start =
thinking about why it's there. The thing that is out of place should =
have some mysterious connection to the keys - holding them on the wall - =
for example. You don't need to have a scene crowded with stuff to pull =
this off, if every element (textures, lighting, arrangement of objects, =
selection of objects, where the objects are located compared to our view =
etc.) adds another twist to the story. Look, if you had just broken one =
of the keys we would ask what happened to that key? Just that would get =
the ball rolling. You've got a good idea. I really think you should go =
after it and make it a great idea.

Really good rusty keys, highly detailed.
But how is this more mysterious than any other small objects on the =
floor?  How about a pair of sunglasses?  Who do they belong to?  Why are =
they here on the floor?  How about some coins and a rubber ball?  Isn't =
there an equal mystery in that?
Nevertheless, I like this image.  Simple and well executed.

I suppose everyone else will write this, but the texture is great. Simple idea, but very effective.
Notable for textures

Have you played Resident Evil.  Something tells me your will like it.  Lots of cool looking keys.

Nice keys, but table texture is a little too flat.
