This is a very interesting piece of Architecture cayassoc. My only small crit, is the background should indicate the same overcast lighting which your temple is receiving. For it looks like it was sunny when you had taken the photo of your backyard. The background colours would be more saturated on a cloudy day too. Just my humble opinion bud, keep up the good work!

Thanks Zeno. You are absolutely right. You have just focused my attention even more on the subtle mportance of lighting. Will strive to improve that.

Great model cayassoc! If you want the Florida day lighting- I'd try using the background in Textureworld to get a better match for the sunny backyard. Tried HDRI's in imageworld yet? Also thanks for the inspiration. I'm working through InsideLW8 and your temple reminds me why I need to stick with the modeling tutorials....

Looks good to me the lighting in the background looks like a normal day. While the retreat suggests inter at tour own risk.

It looks kind of small, as if it's a lego construction. Perhaps you could put some objects between the unfocused and the focused. And maybe move the camera closer and zoom out a bit, to change the 'pincushion' so to speak. Very nice lighting and bump-map though, looks almost photoreal in that aspect. :)

Well done. I'd also like to suggest more attention to relative scale between your background elements and your foreground model.
