I really like the background, the deep red colour goes well with the render. The flow is also quite nice but the render doesn't look as if it's properly blended in with the background, the contrast between the lightness of her and the darkness of the background is a bit too much, it does draw your eye to the right place but I think she either needs to be darker, or the background lighter. Apart from that, very nice.
I agree with Ienzo for the most part. The render and the BG compliment eachother really well, but the difference in lighting makes her unnecessarily stand out from the background, so It's like it doesn't fit as well as it should. With a little tweaking it would look really nice! But great job on this!
I was gonna say this to you earlier, GS. Before MSN just crapped out. I really like how you fixed the C4D, which doesn't disrupt the flow anymore, however, as I said. The stock could use some vibrance and darkening, and some consistent light that isn't too overpowering. Did you sharpen the focal at least once?
Thanks for the CnC guys. I'll post an improved version later. How do you think I should go about blending the render to the BG better though? Yea I kinda see where I went a little overboard with the lighting but that can be easily fixed. And yes I did sharpen the focal once but it may not seem that noticeable because I blurred the C4Ds in the front as well to kind of balance it out.
I would first get the lighting of the render and background to match first, that may be all it needs. If you do want to do some more blending then I would maybe blur the parts of the render into the background you don't want people to focus on.
