Does it not support screen space reflections or reflection probes? It should because its based of the UE engine.

Reflection probes would lift this great render even further.

I have corrected the issue but not with reflection probes as that reflection would not conform to the surface of the water. And thanks for your input It is very much appreciated another fresh pair of eyes

I will post the result soon

Here is the final render.

Wow! It was good before but you nailed it on this last one.

Thanks Bryan, It seems the last 10% of the quality of a render takes 30% of the effort. I got lazy on this one as Rich pointed out. I saw those issues and chose not to fix them. My bad

The last 5% takes up 95% of your time...

That said, you are in the <1% of the people in the world with the ability to produce compelling CG based imagery. Just look at the difference from original to to latest!

Well said. If I saw this picture without any other references, I would swear it was a photo and spend some time trying to determine if it was real or CG. (just something I do out of habit with all photos these days as part of trying to improve my own skills)

Again, well done L i am!
