Too be honest I think it could be pushed farther. One way of putting
it, if you look at the pool tiles in your first post then look at where
you got them to in the subsequent renders, I think more of the scene
needs that kind of increased tactility. Either that or it needs to have
some of the luminence brough back down again. What if the ground was
unnaturally dark, even black. At least I would be curious to see if the
fence slats could be brought up to the same level as the pool tiles. Or
perhaps instead, some kind of wear or grunge or something along the base
of the fence. Another aspect that I never really settled on is the
lamps. While giving them some glow is kind of cliche, I just can't get
the plain edge to make a positive contribution. But I might let all of
that pass if there was some other dramatic incongruity, like a starfield
ground or something.
I guess I want there to be some of the mystery of night communicated.
