Nice image Carloh! really liked the mood and the contrast warm-cold of the lighting... I would use a softer shadow for that lamp...

Hi Carloh:

Image has a lovely feel w/the village lights in the background. It definitely feels like Christmas morning. Comments by others give you excellent direction to improve this scene.

Cheers,
Susan

Much improved!

Much better. Would like to see more light on tree. Not tree lights.
Maybe a dull emitter to see more of it.

WOW !! That's almost real!
I don't agree with the IOR of the present though, it is too reflective for a paper!

[Carloh]

thank you guys!

i knew someone would notice my laziness on that present paper material...i actually used a metallic car paint material on this because i wanted to finish the render

[ely862me]

I think it could be easy fixed with some postprocess work. I usually give it some roughness(if your program allows it) if I can't reduce the IOR(reflectivity).

Great new image Carloh. Just not massively keen on the tree lights having such a wide flare, perhaps it's just my personal taste, but the eye is instantly drawn towards them. The lamp looks a million times better. Nice work it's almost a photo.

Good work Carloh, especially the improvements on the shade. It has the cold/warm and dark/light balance needed in a render.
