Yes a bigger image, Hi sid, you read ski and here you're.
I like it a lot. There's a window with something blurred interior, a little confusing.
Trees on background don't look great. The whole background isn't the best.
To me the window you speak of looks like frosted glass and I have no understanding of your criticism of the background. Could you explain what bothers you about the background?
If I were you, I would not be too humbled as that is a well conceived and executed rendering. Calling that a cabin is a bit of a stretch. It is not humble enough to qualify as a cabin.
Think how much time would have been saved if the original architect would have used SketchUp.
Final art and weld bead jpeg. Would have been even better if I had used a bump map. I used a quarter-round "follow me" in the valleys and applied a bead texture to it
Perhaps a little less saturation in the non sky areas. Night vision does not allow saturated colors. The sky as a light source can retain some of its blueness just after sunset, but the rest except for the lit doorways needs to loose some color.
What was the CAD tweak? The project seems so straight forward, I can't imagine what CAD would have added.
I hope some of you are doing design work in the midst of this discussion. And remember god and the devil are in the details.

The thing with the red feet is a Gorilla Pod, a flexible, grip-anything camera tripod. With the legs bent to the proper position the pod can also hold my Nook e-reader.
A heavy tripod is just too much to take when doing travel photography. The Gorilla Pod requires a little ingenuity when searching for a proper support. But, in the trade off, lighter is better unless you have an under-paid over-muscled assistant.

Here is what we have in some streets and squares of my city during these festivities: it's called "Luci d'artista".

If you will allow me to mix cultural and linguistic metaphors, "I Love Luci."

Here are some more lights at a local residential lake. I must confess that the fountain and the house with lights are about a 1/4 mile apart and I used PS to mash them together.
Dave, I don't think I would ever commission a house until I had seen you render it in four seasons, four times of the day, and four different weather conditions. Once I had seen that, I could feel safe making a decision.

Here is an extreme Horizontal Panorama from Thailand.
"the vertical panorama is made up of a series of handheld photos"
Photo Copyright Roger Hawkins 2011
This is the interior of a Thai shop house. This is a "fly's eye" view as it allows you to look up and down at the same time. There are two types of distortion going on. One is the near 180 degree vertical view. Two, the vertical panorama is made up of a series of handheld photos and the view is not properly calibrated to rotate around the optical center of the lens.
This building is seven stories tall and called a shop house because the family business operated on the first floor and much of the rest of the building was the family residence. You really kick yourself when you walk down 7 floors and then realize you forgot your wallet. Air circulation is not well managed so some of the best interior spaces are left vacant even though they are nicely finished in teak.
Just thought I would pass this on for its architectural interest.
What works survives and what doesn't mutates or dies. There is nothing as stupid as the theory of "intelligent design".

I did a Mondrian/FL Wright comparative essay in Art School, and won a scholarship with it.
I think that Mondrian pops up a lot in Modern and Post Modern Design.
I wrote an A graded FLW essay to get into Architecture School and took a calculus course to get out of architecture school.

The gray window is very confusing. Is it a window? If I am looking through it, I should see some hint of what is in teh building, not what seems to be a Southwestern scene. If it is a reflection from the outside, It should show elements of the courtyard. And, in any case, the scene would have some color in it, it would never be neutral gray.
Also, the top of the white fence is spikey, but its shadow is not spikey.
The white building in the background does not read properly. The end of the building is shown side on as a straight line. That should not happen if the white building is parallel to the red one. And even if that was a true perspective, you should move the camera as the result of that angle is visually ambiguous.
The purpose of the image on the window was to reflect the projector that will be installed inside the steel box which will show images on the window.
Copy that on the white building. It actually isn't parallel to the rust building which is why it looks awkward. I will have to address that problem I guess.
Thanks for your crits.
If the image is being projected outward you would see a shadow on the screen from the protruding shade. The part of the image in the shade would would show at close to full value and the projected image in the sun struck part of the screen would be faded or even impossible to see. The person on the screen is a visually ambiguous. Maybe he is part of the protected image, maybe he is standing in the cube in front of the projector or perhaps he is a shadow on the outside cast by a person we don't see.
Don't be afraid to search the net for visual references or take the time to create crude models as a way of making a reality check before rendering via post processing.
Some render artists you conventions for things like glass when they don't really understand a setting or are to lazy to build a complete model. However, a couple of angled parallel lines across a glass surface are usually the sign of a lesser artist. The key is a lifetime of accurate observation.

Sort of Charles and Ray Eames stripped of the Mondrian overlay?
