looks real to me... amazing work if it's a render!

Can't tell. Bit unsharp, and something about the water surface... but not sure.

The water definately isnt real, cant tell with the rocks..think its real :

The "solid stuff", stones etc. is a photo - which BTW isn't real, but only pixels on a screen :) The water is rendered, I think.

Real. Looks too perfectly messy. Only Nature can do it like that.

Agree with bigbraader, the water is definitely rendered.

Water rendered..rocks real/alpha planes

bigbraader nailed it... it's both real and rendered components, but anyway you look at it, it's still a render (of an alpha plane with a photo attached, perhaps). Thanks for everyone who has looked... I'm thinking of doing a series of these types of renders - some with mixed elements, some with just objects rendered and ask the same questions ;)

Oh, and the water is a rendered object, as almost everyone guessed... strangely enough the most natural looking element of the picture. Parts of the snow were also rendered to give a soft transition between the rocks and the water.

lol, forgot something... the photo was taken in the right light at the right height with the right angle using just a tiny bit of blur to soften the entire image. There... all the secrets to how I made this work.
