Can't stand purists myself. I figure that if it's legal, it's legitimate. As long as you aren't stealing someone else's work, you should do whatever you want. Also, I agree with AS. I don't think any professional will show off a straight render, unless he/she is displaying a 3d model. Photographers are the same. Not doing postwork for digital photography is like letting Wal-Mart develop your film instead of learning how to use the darkroom. ---snip---

Very nice result! That completely eliminates that plastic look of a render and makes it feel more organic and natural. Excellent work!
