need new eyes on this please

[priad]

I friends!
Not the habit with this kind of thing so I need some new eyes and C&C on it.
thanks

hmm. The house is too overexposed and too contrasty for the background - make it burn out less and desaturate it a bit. It needs a bit more blue from the sky in it too. Kind of an odd setting for a modern house?

Thx for the quick feedback,

[dlparisi]

The perspective match seems a bit off - almost like the max camera is much wider than the actual camera. And as J' said it's too saturated and contrasty to match the background. The edge where it meets the hillside needs a little work too to help it blend in more. The roof material looks pretty good and the stone is OK if you take the level down a little so it doesn't get burnt out. The black frames, railings and guttters look way too black since they're in direct sun. Lastly, the window reflections are very odd, they need to be toned way down and they don't actual seem to be reflecting the building even (you should see the wall returns alongside the windows). Good luck, David

Still looks odd. the car and people are giving it away a lot, they don't seem to fit. Also seems that the building gets different light than people and trees?

thx again, here an other try with some of your suggests taken in count:

[joconnell]

okay quick ps edit:



I've done some hue / saturation on the grass, made the house less contrasty (I think this might be too much bump / displacement making the wall pick up a lot of shadow) and a bit of blur on the house - since it's a blurry photo, the house has to be as blurry.

To me the shadows stand out particularly, i think the sun in the backdrop is more vertical than the one in the render, but i may be mistaken...

looks better.
but there is a mask issue by the chimneys and roof.
also your cactus is transparent and the lady in black too, but that might be deliberately.

The perspective match seems a bit off

yes, that's the first thing that catches the eye. it kinda looks as if it was a collage of elements pasted together with no consistent perspective between them. like the house seems to have its own, while the rest of the image another one (maybe an horizon matching problem?).

the plants on the right seem a bit out of scale if compared to the house and people.

as already pointed out, the background picture is kind of blurry and low res, if I were you I might even consider painting a new sky over the original one, because the one you have doesn't look that great.

as long as the house itself goes, instead of pushing the displacement on the walls, I'd rather keep it low or even get rid of it, and paint a good map instead. as it is now it look a bit too much like plastic.

hi
1. too much perspective on the image the camera is too wide..
2. i don't think the transparent car realy helps, i would loose it or make it visible.
3. the shadows dosn't fit , the sun should come more from the right , the left side og the building should be darker (look at the road which recive some shadows from theground on the right below the other building).
4 the edge of the graa between tree and cactus is too sharp , you cand some bushes over there (same is the one behind)+ i think the background image is low res and looks too blurry against the house.
5. there is a strange shadow or somthing on the chimny and the right side of the roof...

my 0.05 $
btw
is that a bullet proof roof?
