I dont buy the photograph as real no matter what the caption says.

Light shines from the left windows and in from the forward windows. I still think the picture is rendered.

i agree it looks more like a painting than anything. if it is a photo he had to do aot ot touching up in photoshop to make it look like that

Not only do I think this is OBVIOUSLY rendered, it was familiar when I first looked at it. I'm pretty sure I've seen it before in video card image quality reviews. Will have to search around and find it again some time.

It doesn't look real to me. If you look at the upper left window, it looks like in the lower left portion of it that the sun (lighsource) is trying to shine through. Then you have the sun shining in through the right side windows. The angles don't match then.
And take a look at the chain on the chandelier. It looks really jagged to me.

I really enjoy these, but I don't think this was a good choice for one becuase it obviously had to be touched up or something...

FYI, light can be reflected/refracted, esp. in a cathedral, which probably uses old *thick* glass. The different light angles does not prove this a fake. I though it was a render except for the lense flare. That looked real, but I still thought it was rendered.

I like these Czar, keep 'em coming. :)

There are too many imperfections that the maker most probably wouldn't put in there, so yeah. real!

Rendered... if this is real, then either i have a really crappy monitor (which i do... this is a crappy LCD monitor i'm using at work), or thecompression could be better.

it looks like some of the textures are real, the outside foliage loos real, but stuff like the towels and the lamp above the sink don't look real.
