Audi R8 Performance

[cgiout]

This is the classic auto+backplate+hdri rendering featuring an Audi R8 performance.
The lighting is base on a HDRI map that belong to a set (hdri+backplates) i've shooted on italian Alps during spring 2020.
I created a new LUT to make the mountains look more deserted.

The renders look real good, only the second and third have something that breaks the realism for me. I can't quite put my finger on it, maybe it is the depth of the composition. The car and the background mountains seem to be one if you know what I mean, maybe a bit background blur or fog will help?
Other then that a great execution.

Hi, yes i think i know what you mean.
From a pure photographer perspective the background should be a little blurred. I assumed to adopt a less realistic approach in order to achieve a "all in focus" effect, like using focus stacking.
Someone prefer the physically correct look, someother not...matter of tastes.

Thanks for you attention.
