Lake Ascent

It’s so hard to make things look nice, especially these before/after sunset/sunrise. There is a fine balance between too bright and too dark. I tried!

Not bad Bobby. I would remove those broken trees though.

This may be a pretty easy fix in Photoshop
​​​​​​..the light quality looks correct the color seems a bit unnatural. Maybe use a separate map from your HDRI dome.

I am rendering it out again. I am going to try a day shot next.

Usually I prefer dusk shots, but this day shot is really, really nice

Now, that I do like! I guess the only thing is that the scenery in the background does not match the day scenery. Perhaps it’s an enchanted forest. :slight_smile:

yeah, they sell house plans, so the environment isn’t critical, so they don’t have to match.

Yes, side by side, I can see the improvement. Thanks!
