Thanks for all your help!

These aren't finished images just yet, so if anyone could comment and crit to make them better that would be great. I'm just not feeling them at the moment; we were really pushed on deadlines so i couldn't spend the time on them i wanted; then i find out the client's pissed off on holiday for a week! Why push us for a deadline he won't meet!

I've used VraySun & Sky which i hardly ever do, but like the speed of it compared to a dome light & hdri. These are straight .exr's out of Vray.

Many thanks to Tom182 for the chandelier model - saved my skin!

Should i remove the sofa in the foreground do you think?
Clouds?
Stars?

nothing to say! really nice images, the lighting is spot on. i don think you need to change the sky, and leave the sofa in the last image, i think it adds a bit of the ol' depth factor to it. only thing ive noticed is the wall in the external shots to the left appears to be tiling a bit? And for some reason i dont like the dining chairs, dont know why, just a personal thing though.

Looking good SV.

I think a slight hint of moon would suit the first image.

As for the interiors I don't get a warm feeling from them, maybe it's the white lights - I'd make them a slightly warm colour and see what happens..

Otherwise it looks great!

Great renders!! I love the outdoor smooth environment
To improve it, outdoor the falling water disturb me a lot (I know it's pretty difficult to reach a good result with this) may be play with PS.
Interior, I'll touch nothing, no DOF needed IMO, I agree with Jonferimonic about the dining chairs, I think, I'm sure they aren't like that, they seems flat "under the ass" which is a little thing but important in this image IMO.

The mood is superb, not day not night, just enough to show the lighting, congrats

My fav is the evening shot but really all of them look pretty nice. Same comments as above plus the daylight shots look a little underexposed though to me. And either the dining room chairs are too high or the table is too low since I don't think anyones legs will fit in that space between them (table looks low to me).

The images look perfect, nice work

Very nice images, really like them! One thing though, is I think there's too much of a caustic effect on the water, I'd either bring that down or disturb the water surface a bit more... It looks too flat to be able of producing the caustics it has.

I think the chairs are too tall. There isn;t much leg room between the table and the chair seat. Awesome images though.

Everything looks good without any changes except the falling water which require some improvement.
Caustics are pretty good, raising the thickness of water surface you can get better look of caustics but in this case would be nice to hear opinion from DaForce...
(He help me a lot to make good pool-caustics )
Overall its couple of great images

Very nice images, especially like the 1st exterior shot.

I find shadows a bit too harsh, the ceiling shadow of the last image annoys me (light sources are standard spot lights?)

I'm sure with a touch on PS the images will improve a lot.

hi
very nice images nice exterior lighting.
my crit is about the light in interior. it looks a little cold color.

[ene.xis]

lovely outdoor shots!
congrats!

simply brilliant images.
the first one really captures the rising sun /I think it is rising/
The last image - what I think needs to be corrected is the amount of light coming from the middle of the kitchen.Seems like 50 light bulbs are lit on the floor and the kitchen ceiling is still darker than the one next to the glass wall. - does this make sense?

Loads of thanks for everyone's feedback - it's greatly helped to improve these images so thank you all very much.
