Had doubts about the material of the sidewalk and chose another one.

@hideki
It did fool me...
On a mobile screen, it does look like a photo.

@LukeAlmighty @hideki even on a desktop monitor, I thought it was a photo at first from the thumbnail.
@hideki i both love and hate how awesomely realistic you can make these images
@hideki thanks for writing in blender there btw, otherwise i couldn't tell...
Do you have tips for distinguishing blender cycles renders from real photos?

@matrixsasuke wtf how i didn't was notified of your post? How strange.

You have to check closely for geometry too clean or lack of film grain/noise. Any place that's too perfect gives it away.

If you check that render, the paint of the bike is too clean and the rims of the wheels are unrealisticly shiny.

@hideki wait a second, isn't the shadow of the saddle the wrong way around or is the light source at a weird place, which makes this possible some how? Also the perspective on the bike looks a bit to head on. Especially zooming in on the chain i could have perhaps told it isn't real. But maybe I shouldn't tell you that, because you will just fill in these details next time...
