Nice job, a few comments.

- On your dusk shot and overcast shot the glass is not reading very well on the lower restaurant level.
- The tower blocks at the back lack depth.
- Lights on cab could do with improving. They feel very flat.
- Red brick is a little too repetitive.
- Not a big fan of the tree on the lower right. Did you scale it up a lot?. The foliage part also looks very flat especially in the dusk and overcast scene.
- Would have been nice if you had added more detail to the interiors.
- It's all too clean, don't be afraid of dirtying things up a bit. What particularly jumps out at me is the door bottom right on the daylight image. It looks very CG.
- I feel the glazing needs improved. It looks good on the daylight shot but kinda feels dull and flat on the dusk and overcast shot.

Nice work Peter!

@ tartan

While I agree with most of your comments, I think the success in these images comes from the fact that they tell a story well enough that most folks wouldn't even notice such things. There are so many lovely details in these images that I myself had to look back to see what you were referring too. Good eye!

[Mikokariadis]

Great stuff as always. Having three parts of the day shown is just awesome. That cabby should get fined...the little details are just great on these.

Thanks for the feedback tartan (Scottish as well?)

- re: the tower blocks, they are 3d and are obscured a bit by vrayfog, I was happy how they turned out. (they were made for another project)

- tiling bricks: I know, sloppy.

- tree: probably

- interiors: there has to be a limit no? I never spend that long on a single image, these ones got more than usual though.

- dirtyness: I just can't ever be bothered to dirty up textures and the like, don't think I'm that kind of person! (but that door! again I was lazy, even though I hate it and can't look at it in the day version)

- I'm pretty happy with the glass I must say. Having 2 glass materials, 1 for day and 1 for night just isn't my style...

peter they are ace!

yet again....

get some HDRI/EXR out because i would definitely invests in them!!

cheers

To see this list of areas where the image could be more accurate technically really goes to show how important lighting and camera placement are in an artistic composition, which you always have right on target. In fact, I don't believe I have ever seen you miss even by a millimeter in either of those areas. I can easily overlook all of these other things because the general feeling from these images is very stong and intact despite the technical distractions.

I have no doubt that you could find a way to make any subject look great, and I look forward to your future works because of that fact. Keep up the good work!

Yeah I am Scottish as well. You are doing us proud, keep up the great work.

love the dusk shot!
I'd be right there if you start selling your HDRIs.

Cheers,
Henry

[pixela]

Very nice works- Dusk shot is my favorite.
Looking forward to your IES tutorial

[Pictor2]

Fantastic work. +1 for the HDRI's, I'd buy a few and no mistake.

[peterguthrie]

Made a start selling HDRi's for those interested 3DOcean.net I have also posted a sort of catalogue on my blog.

[tartan]

I look forward to you selling the HDRI's as a pack, $27 is a bit steep for one.

[stef.thomas]

I look forward to you selling the HDRI's as a pack, $27 is a bit steep for one.

That's not just for the HDRi though, you get 19 backplate images included as well. And considering Peter probably only gets around 40% of the revenue I think that's a fair deal.

[rivoli]

I also think it's fair, apart from the 19 backplates you sure are going to get a very high quality hdr. both in resolution and dynamic range, which you don't always get, even from well known "professional" hdr packs.

[Mikokariadis]

Fair price for shure, good to know where to buy A material next time I need it.
