Amazing work!!

I find CA (Chromatic Aberration) is one of those things people either love or hate. Some extremely hate it. Personally I am ok with it and I think it should only be used if you're trying to create the look of a real photograph or film. Because that's how cameras & film work and that's what you've recreated perfectly here.

Frankly I'd rather have CA than EXTREME color grading.

My only critic is the noise on the floor makes it look very rough.

but again amazing work.

Well that's the thing. Real life cameras don't have full frame CA evenly over the entire image. (if they do, then those lens are seriously broken).
So this actually doesn't look realistic at all. Also usually when you photograph a fancy place like this, then you will never do it with broken lens.
The bottom line is, CA ruins the realism when used wrong. I would never ever consider this rendering to be a realistic photo. I look at it and I want to wipe my eyes clean because of all that eye strain CA is causing.

The other thing with CA is that it mainly occurs when the lens is wide open whereas you would slow the lens down to f8 or f11 to have as much sharpness as possible in a shot like this.

Thanks for the comments!

I like a bit of CA, but maybe use it little bit less next time.

By the way, I used this as inspriration : https://agencyleroy-website.s3.amazonaw ... nda_07.jpg

Besides CA, do you guys have tips of how to make my image more "real"?

Absolutely, if you llike it, then use it.
My point was, that it isn't photorealistic. Thats all.

One other point to consider regarding CA in CGI. Most RAW digital photography workflows and camera profiles make it a bush button away to completely or nearly eliminate all CA. So when would you really find that much in most professionally shot photos? Nevertheless, a gorgeous render!
