critwues for photoreal

[AMO]

thanks :)

looks nice, just a couple suggestions:

The dirt on the spheres looks just a little bit too opaque in my opinion.

Also the reflections on the balls in the back look like they are just a little far to the left. The lens of the camera should be in the exact center of the sphere.

hope this helps.

I think that the DOF effect is too strong. It gets all blurry to fast in the distance.

I have nevers see a real picture with that tight of a focal range.

Maybe the reflect map should need more raytrcing if possinble and just BrainFaucet said: make sure the lens of the camera is paralel with the camera of your scene...

nice photo, a bit boring maybe! :)

if the reflection is anymore it will look unrealistically reflective. i have now made the camera line up with the image.. it is ment to be tken from an angle not straight on. my friend tookt he photo like this so it would look 'right' in the reflection'. also opened up the depth of field from 0.07 to 0.17 and it has made it look much more realistic.

thanks for the adivse. new and improved pic will be coming up soon. give me a min or 2 to render :)

right finished :)

i fear i may have oppened the DOF up a wee bt tooomuch. and darkening the metal to make it more realistic has also dulled out the reflection somewhat? do you thik this is better?

camera is aligned to lens now.
