Just posting it here since so many of you had a hand in its completion. Figured some of you may want to see the final product. Final comments welcome.http://www.ryan-spaulding.com/renders/oklahomacity.jpg

It's actually not this project that is getting the night treatment. It's the next project, which I start Monday. I'll definitely have a WIP thread for that as well. You guys are invaluable as a resource and I appreciate everyone's help.

My own final tweak suggestion would be in Photoshop- I would add a subtle WARM tone to the image. It's a great render but looks too COOL to me. This place may actually be in a cooler temperate climate so that's how it probably looks- but, from a Psychological Viewpoint- COOLNESS is not a good selling point- while WARMNESS suggests a friendly
pyschological attraction.
In Photoshop- particularly the latest versions- you can apply subtle Color Filters the way Camera's do- a Subtle WARMING Filter can have an amazing psychological impact!
If you don't have Photoshop- then it can be done very judiciously using other color settings.
(However- if you are turning this render over to an agency that is handling the final print job- they may likely have a person who will tweak the image ANYWAY. But- for your own portfolio purposes- keep the idea of the psychology of "Color Temperature" in mind with your renders...)

I'll have to look into how to do that in Photoshop CS. Not sure off of the top of my head.

...it's under Image, Adjustments, Photo Filter-- Try the Warming Filters 85 or 81- these correspond to Camera Lense filters. The effect is subtle- but psychologically very pleasing. In fact Kodak, for many decades, has always had a very subtle WARM bias for it's Consumer films. With digital cameras and video the effect is called Color Temperature. While normally you would want a Non-Bias WHITE color temp, many people who shoot Weddings, Babys and general portraits, will digitally add in WARM tones- especially for Weddings...

Ah. I did and that worked. I see how it seems less cold now. Thanks!
