The girl might be a bit small but I think it is more that her perspective is not right so it will always look a bit odd. She should also be more side-lit, and a wee bit darker overall.

IMO the girl works but is a bit "pasty"(too white) for my liking compared to the rest of the image. Try color balancing her within photoshop(add a touch of red maybe?). She may be a bit small as well.

Overall an excellent render though! The two guys in the back work without flaw!

How's this?

[windowlicker]

To be honest, I think the girl is very distracting. Too close to the camera, looking right at you. Placing her in the rear end of the office would work. Try to get a person not looking straight at you, if you're gonna place someone up close like that.

Apart from that, I think the rendering is good. Maybe a bit more contrast - I'd try to get some more power in the sunlight hitting the desk, especially.

and of the image; the people in the suites work really well, I don't think the girl does at all. Sorry; but it's going to be nails to get the perspective right....

Nice Renders.

[simmsimaging]

I think that works a lot better.

color corrections

I dropped a little curves and color balance for fun.

Let me know if you like it or not. I like giving renders a little style sometimes.

I quite like that. What have you done there exactly?

The extra warmth has helped with the contrast of the image lots.

I still think you need some variations on the monitor screens though.

The render is nice and clean and works well. I would definately get rid of that woman in the chair. But i do like the guys at the table they work very well.

I also think you could go for more contrast on the interior (as shown with the s curves) and more blown out for the exterior, just a thought!

The White Balance

[fourthand11]

I thru an 's' curve on the whole image. Then created a color balance layer adding blue to the whole image then painting out (with a mask) the foreground. That way you keep the warm colors brought out by the 's' curve in the interior of the space while exagerating the blues coming in from outside.

Thats about a two minute jobber. With an image like that I could spend 3 or 4 hours in photoshop locking in each area of the space and making it look the way I want. I'm really not looking for something that looks like a straight photo. I'd prefer something that looks like something out of a film. There are artists out there that can do that beautifully, I'm just trying to catch up to them right now.

Its so important to think about the viewer and try to focus their eye to the part of the space you want them to focus on. Use the lights and darks, hues and saturation. I think of myself as a director telling a story and I only have one scene to do it.

Thanks for your input but it doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid.

Everyone else:

It seems like you're all split on the bird in the foreground. I think i'll keep her in because my client's target audience is a furniture buyer and it should hopefully brighten up his otherwise boring day...
