A residential landscape and pool

[windrockwater]

Hey fellow 3d-ers. Here is a recent render for a pool and landscape. I finally put to use some of the abilities of PSDmanager. It was great being able to adjust things in Photoshop like the color of the glass (I made it darker than in the raw render), the umbrella color, and the roof shingles. Way better than re-rendering.

Bring on the C&C if you can help me make it better next time!

looks nice, but it could do with a quick s-curve in photoshop

If you don't know what an s-curve is, then do this:

flatten the image so its only 1 layer

then go to image adjustments > curves. From here try the "medium contrast" preset. Looks much better I think

(or add an adjustment layer at the very top to do the same thing as described above)

It looks nice. the viewing angle looks a little strange, like the neighbor is peeking over the fence from a ladder. I agree with Morne's response, too.

I think windows really need tranparancy.
And maybe a little displace for the foreground pillar ?
