Hello,
I've been trying to practice rendering, which I find very difficult.
At least I got some result to show today.
Any kind of advice would be so much appreciated. I find making realistic material is very, very difficult......

Sketchup modeling,
Both of Render took around 16min, used pmc.
Post production photoshop..

I like the concept of how you show the two towers.
I am curious about the render without post production.. What did you need postproduction for that you cannot do with rendering :?:
It looks like you copied one tower.. Maybe you can rotate the second to make that less obvious.
In my opinion there is too much blur in front.
The visual has much potential...
Curious for your update :mrgreen:

Hello, Thank you so much for the comment,
I've attached the original render.
Actually, There wasn't much for post production, apart from colour correction and adding some "more" blur into the image. It, blur, was originally intended to hide the obvious duplication...
I'm at the moment a bit lost how to make it a better scene.
I'll upload a next one as soon as I get some progress..
Thank you again :)

From an artistic perspective, using blur or cheap effects to hide parts of your image you don't like is a bad idea. Generally it will look better without, and it will also push you to better your scenes at render time before post.
