It it weren't for the properties page telling me what kind of camera took the shot...I would guess rendered. That water looks like the water in HL2.

Comon people, if you want a real vs rendered debate, take out the camera info.

You know it's just as easy to put the exif data into rendered pics, right? ;)

uhhh, wrong. I see pros do it all the time. many 3d programs have a special function for it.

cardinal rule is the flare always goes throught the center of the shot, if it doesn't, somebody either screwed up or cropped it.

It's quite obvious that some people here cannot tell the difference between a computer generated image and a picture of the real outdoors.

That's pretty sad.

After checking the link to the source image, I have brilliantly concluded that it is real :D

NOTE: At first I thought it was rendered

Agreed.

You don't need a bigger version of the image to tell that it's real. C'mon now people.

I voted rendered, because I've seen many very detailed renders lately that look very real (at high res), but have a sort of surreal lighting effect that looks very similar to that pic.

based on the tiny pic it looks rendered.. its pretty obvious that its real when you blow it up though.

No one ****** cares if you have some image that is difficult to tell if it's real or rendered. Stop with these threads!

But it's really funny to see people say that it's rendered based on their oh so awesome keen sense of sight. They're all like "yeah, that <insert object> just gave it away" ... or... "hmm...that <insert object> just doesn't sit right with me", and then BAM, it's a real image and they never ever post again :p

Pic from the boat...

Inside the red-roofed church.

Pic on the boat that takes you there.

BTW, it is the Konigsee.

Just b/c the place actually exists doesn't mean the photo can't be rendered.

But I'm not saying it is rendered, I voted for real....just saying that a real place can be rendered as well.

I'll render you senseless
